Microsoft Virtual Earth E-mail Blast - View This Item

An AJAX Powered, Web 2.0 Method for Selecting E-mail List Recipients

• Allows vendors, ranging from concert promoters to insurance agents, to select millions of consumers for advertising campaigns with the click of a mouse.
• Employs asynchronous and synchronous AJAX calls to ensure fast loading and delivery of information.
• Uses the Microsoft Virtual Earth JavaScript API to provide visual feedback upon selection of zip codes.
• Uses the MVE shape API to provide exact circles defining e-mail "blast" range, taking into account: latitude, longitude, the national inclination of the earth, and the necessary number of points within the "blast" circle to define a 100% accurate blast range without straining page loading or causing unecessary drawing time. This saves the web page user time and energy while using the application.
• Allows the user to 'draw' a circle, dynamically returning the zip code, city, state, and circle radius to the browser using AJAX.
