The speed of geolocating members and properties has been a source of complaints for some amount of time.

Based on feedback from our customers, we've made major speed improvements on the interface where you can geolocate your member profile or your video content at over 80 countries over at http://catalog.vidlisting.com.

The geodata that we have is extensive. Before the performance improvements, you had to wait as long as 30 seconds (which is an eternity in internet time) for our system to return town level data and latitudes/longitudes. Now, with the improvements, we are generally under one second from both our offices in the US and in South America. Of course, the network speed is a big influence on how fast your data is returned as well.

If you've been and our site before and were disappointed with the wait, go ahead and try itagain ...

What you dont see is that data point for every contry has an associated lat/long that the system can easily associate with you video or with you. This means that others looking for your content dont have to exactly match the town name or zip code in order to discover your content.

We are still working to improve both performance and quality of the data - the state of California returns over 5000 datapoints and still takes just about two seconds which is far better than before but still not good enough. Let us know if any countries or states dont meet your need for speed.

Keep giving us feedback - your functionality will keep improving at http://catalog.vidlisting.com as a result.
