I think that's a great idea! The api also makes it look easy to
implement into our existing database. My thinking would be to
implement it in a pretty unobtrusive way as seen in this
example:
http://www2.walkscore.com/images/my-realty-site-small.jpg
http://www.walkscore.com/api.shtml
(see option 2 for branding requirements.
A simple line item under the regular data columns with a ? mark
that would pop up a dialog explaining where the score comes from
and linking to the walkscore website.
My only concern is that it may appear we're endorsing the
walkscore™. They look credible to me though. Does any one
have any objections?

Hi all,
i was thinking that potentially an easy addition to the Brain is
to display the Walkscore of each building. although a little
primitive, a building's walkscore does give a good indication about
neighbourhood context. i.e. is it in a car-dependent area or one
that is mixed use.
all you need is the address. http://www.walkscore.com/
thoughts?
Cheers,
