Using Google Fusion Tables to record landmarks

We analyzed the possibility of using Google Fusion Tables/API to store landmarks from the TULIP database. Initial results indicate that keeping a Google Fusion Table in sync with a live url or having it to update itself as a change happens, in the database is not currently possible. These tables are really good, in case of static data, but as of this moment, the tulip database, gets updated daily. Atleast twice to enable or disable nodes, and atleast once to update planet lab nodes.
As of this moment, we have concluded, that we should skip this methodology and wait, for improvements, and newer versions of the API.
