Communitech has a Q+A with PiinPoint co-founder Jim Robeson here: <a href="http://www.communitech.ca/start-news/qa-with-piinpoint-ceo-jim-robeson-waterloo-regions-latest-yc-grad/#.UzBgHeddVy9" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.communitech.ca&#x2F;start-news&#x2F;qa-with-piinpoint-ceo-j...</a>

Good luck to these folks. Sometime ago I was thinking about ethnic restaurants in my area and got interested in exactly this: what is the best location for a particular ethnic restaurant. For just this one domain there are a lot of variable to consider, so it&#x27;d be interesting to see how PiinPoint is doing it as they are not domain specific, and how effective their solution is.<p>Regardless, this is a great problem to solve and wish them all the luck.

Interesting opportunity but unfortunate name selection. PiinPoint with two i&#x27;s is always going to be tricky to try and tell somebody. It even took me a couple of occurrences in the article to realize it had a double i since the brain tends to automatically filter out duplicate unexpected letters.<p>The other problem is that PinPoint.com is owned by Microsoft who will probably never be interested in selling it. So even after getting funding you won&#x27;t be able to move over to a better url.

Interesting! I&#x27;d love to see how they&#x27;re building their decision up.<p>Nielsen offers the reverse of this service to large multinationals so they can determine where to send their sales reps (like Coca-Cola wanting to know where all the new convenience stores in Africa are).
