Hey, I am one of those who have installed PressureNET. Where can I see analysis of data that you guys collect?

Thanks for running pressureNET! Whenever we show some data analysis, you can bet it will be on our blog at http://cumulonimbus.ca . However, you'll note that there's not much there so far. For the majority of the life of the project, we haven't had enough data to do anything interesting with it. Now, however, especially with Sandy (we gained 1,400 users yesterday alone), our data will be of immense value. We're worki…

I posted this as a separate submission, but it didn't seem to catch on. Since this is the only hurricane-related post on the front page, I'm going to add it here: startups, apply to YC and keep your change until you're making money.

Are the results also pushed then? Thanks

We're not currently planning to change that, no.

Ok thanks that's good to know. I take the opportunity to say how sorry I am for those who might be suffering from Sandy. I wish I was there to be helping. God bless

Interestingly, my application is mostly going to be based on the storm itself, so this is excellent. Thanks :) We've collected more than 100,000 atmospheric pressure readings of Sandy so far and they're still coming in through pressureNET, our open source Android app.

Installee as well. Good luck and awesome idea with great timing.

Awesome! Our team already applied but NYC is shut down for at least 2 days. Would have been hard to film a video if the subway is shut down and we couldn't meet up.

I don't know how many of you have internet, but you could use Google Hangouts to record a video. My new Co-Founder happens to live in Chicago (I'm in San Diego) and that's how we got it done.
