Maui WiFi War Driving Map

This is the most up-to-date Wireless Network map for Maui as of today (or at least it should be. :) )  Here’s what I learned

Maui WiFi Security Break Down

OPEN = 1168 of 3056 of Maui networks have NO SECURITY
WEP = 777 of 3056 of Maui networks have INCREDIBLY WEAK SECURITY
WPAPSK = 952 of 3056 of Maui networks are REASONABLY
SECURE
WPA2 = 93 of 3056 of Maui networks are VERY SECURE
Other = 66 of 3056 of Maui networks are HIGHLY SECURE

Please note that the above numbers are estimates.  Networks not broadcasting their SSID’s were not logged.

So How Secure Is Maui Overall?

63.6% of Maui Networks are Insecure. (WEP encryption is NOT secure (yes, even 128bit WEP) and is included here with the OPEN networks.)

36.4% of Maui Networks are Reasonably Secure.  I consider any network that cannot be cracked in 24 hrs reasonably secure.  Please note that default and weak passwords can make even the most secure networks negligible to attack.

Lets See The Data!

The map below can be used as a quick reference, but I would encourage you to download the KML file above and view it in Google Earth.  It will perform faster and will give more more information.

Map takes time to load.  KML Data is about 1 MB.

How to Remove a Bad Review from Google Maps

Removing a Bad ReviewNo one likes to see a bad review about his or her business on the Internet, especially if it comes from a disgruntled employee or a competitor who is trying to ruin your reputation. Bad reviews can be devastating.

47% Never Look Back

Forty seven percent of potential customers who read a bad review will go onto the next business listing without giving the site with the bad review a second glance.

Here’s the dirty little secret reviewers won’t tell you. The vast majority of bad reviews are from people who are upset, angry or disappointed with your service. Their reason for providing a bad review has very little to do with the product or service they purchased, it almost always has to do with how you made them feel.

List of Email Feedback Loops

The feedback loop is a system that allows email providers to keep track of email spam complaints.  Some email companies go as far as alerting the original sender’s email company about the spam.

What does this mean for you as an Email Marketer?

If you send bulk email, you know that being labeled as a spammer is the absolute worst possible thing that could happen.  The feedback loop allows you to be notified by the email service when someone clicks the “Mark this message as spam” button in their email program. If you don’t set up a feedback look with the major email companies, you will never know when someone accuses you as being a spammer.

Improve Your Chances Of Getting Into Hundreds of Millions of In-boxes!

Unfortunately, there is no single place to sign up for this service, so you will need to register your feedback loop address with the email providers directly.  Below you will find a list of Feedback Loop Request forms as well as a few email address of companies that will allow you to register via email.
