Moonshadow’s patented Ephemeris database technology delivers blazing-fast data access speeds, shrinks your big data footprint by as much as 90% and reduces the number of servers required to run your big data by 90%. Check out this video for a high-level overview of what Ephemeris is all about.
Moonshadow’s Eimar Boesjes (COO/CTO) was a featured speaker at last month’s VISUALIZED.io conference in London, presenting examples of Moonshadow’s latest big data visualizations. Kenneth Cukier, Data Editor for The Economist, was in attendance and penned an online article using one of Moonshadow’s visualizations (shown above) as a featured image.
Cukier’s article identifies an interesting trend about how data visualization is changing to encompass online interactive data that is alive, relegating static data visualizations as less relevant relics of the past. This evolution has been accelerated by the ubiquity of computers, tablets, smartphones and Internet-connected digital devices. It’s an interesting read at The Economist titled […]
As you probably know Ground Game with VoterMapping is the most technologically advanced suite of tools for online voter data analysis and door-to-door canvassing with iOS (iPads and iPhones) and Android (tablets and phones) mobile devices.

Ground Game with VoterMapping has a new new route planning tool that makes it easy for field managers to define specific routes for their walking lists for mobile canvassing.

Once you’ve defined the route plan, assign the routed walking list to one or more of your mobile canvassers in the field using the canvasser-assignment controls in VoterMapping. Your canvassing volunteers will then see the routed walking list […]
The Young Vote is an important demographic in today’s elections. Today, there are over 44 million voters under the age of 29 ( Census Bureau ) . In recent years, the percentage of young voters that are politically active has jumped, doubling, even quadrupling in some states . These new voters grew up in the age of the internet, and often have vast resources to inform themselves and each other, using social media and new online tools.
Government agencies are releasing data in quantities never seen before. At the federal level the Census, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the EPA, the CDC, the Weather Bureau, the USGS and dozens of other agencies are releasing hundreds of millions of records annually, each. State and local government agencies are following suit. Private industry, as well, is making data more accessible than ever before. Just think about the map and image data that is available through Google Maps, Bing Maps or OpenStreetMaps. Inexpensive access to Big Data will take the availability of information to the next level.
