Karl Malone and his impact to the world of technology...

[akirac73]

So my daughter works for Zillow. For those that don't know what Zillow is, it's a tech company that runs the largest online real estate database in the country. So my daughter tells me that they have a database program that pairs building addresses with ID numbers that are based on geographical location. This program/database is called "Malone". When my daughter asked why it was called that, they said it was named after Karl Malone, because a mailman knows a lot about addresses.

My daughter was so excited to tell me about this story, thought i'd share...

Yeah, sounds like it's some sort of proprietary geocoding software.

Karl Malone approves of this thread.

After reading this story, Karl probably going to sue company for unauthorized use of his name.

I don't think he'll be able to pull up the story on his flip phone.

Nobody in NBA front offices gives a rats patooey about what Chuck and Karl think about analytics. Here to stay.

Does the real estate database also refer to itself using the first, second, and third person, all in the same sentence?
