subject: You Can Easily Combine Fusion Tables With Other Online Tools And Outlets [print this page] Having access to important information is not always enough to businesses. Always, these information has to be shared, either with customers and clients or with other people within the business structure. Google Fusion Tables can ensure that you are able to get that information to whoever needs it, quickly and expediently and it can be integrated with a wide range of different online tools and outlets.
Google Sites Integration
One of the most innovative ways that Google Fusion Tables provides convenience for businesses is the fact that visualizations can be embedded directly into Google Sites. Google Sites is a handy ( and it is free! ) way to build an online presence and is very perfect for geo-targeted needs. With Google Fusion Tables, you can simply embed the code for an embeddable visualization and then paste the code within the HTML of your Google Site.
Please note that any visualization that you want to embed in your site has to be "embeddable." That means that it needs to be both exportable and either "unlisted" or "public." If the visualization is not unlisted or public, you cannot embed it (even if it's your own information).
Blogger Integration
Blogging is immensely important for businesses around the world. Whether your company does business in the United States, in Europe, Asia or has a worldwide focus, maintaining a blog is an excellent way to connect with your audience. Google Fusion Tables gives you the means to import intensity maps from Fusion Tables directly into your Blogger blog. No matter you are providing information for clients and customers or creating online resources for your company employees, intensity maps are valuable tools that provide immense understanding via a graphical, interactive format.
To embed your intensity map through Blogger, you'll need to set the values for the map appropriately (you'll need a Google account as well, of course). What you need to do is copy the code for the intensity map from your Google Fusion Tables account and paste it into a new post on your blog. You can even add text to the post before or after the intensity map to explain the map's purpose or point out specific information contained in it.
Importing Information
Google Fusion Tables also supports importing your data from a very wide range of programs and outlets. In the current stage, the program can handle .xls, .xslx, .ods, .csv, .tsv and .kml file extensions (in addition to Google Doc formats, of course).
