PDA: Journalists and developers join forces for Guardian Hack Day 2
August 3rd, 2009Posted by Laura Oliver in Editors' pick, Handy tools and technology
Nice round-up from Kevin Anderson on the projects created at the Guardian’s second Hack Day – an event to see ‘what journalists and developers could come up with in just a day’.
Projects included:
- a visualisation of swine flu news – showing the number of news stories compared with outbreak areas that had received less coverage
- creating Google gadgets for individual Guardian sections
- an iPhone app alerting users to Guardian events and helping them find their way their with Google maps
Idea-inspiring stuff.
