Voting has now closed in the
NYC BigApps Challenge, a $20,000 contest to produce amusing, interesting, or even useful apps using the information in the
NYC DataMine.
Browse the eligible submissions here. Some highlights:
Taxihack: collects e-mailed and tweeted comments on NYC cabs, by medallion or license number.
Clean.ly: Did the restaurant across the street pass its last health inspection?
Walkshed: You tell Walkshed what kind of amenities you'd like to be within walking distance of, and the app makes you a heat map showing your most walkable neighborhoods.
SmartPark: Locates nearby garages and collects social information about available street parking. Buzzes you when it's time to move your car.
Trees Near You: Does what it says on the box.

Indirect Collaboration.)

New Winamp So the design guys over there quitely release this update and down played its coolest feature. Perhaps the coolest feature ever for any program. A database of searchable music videos and song offering on demand and fastforwarding and rewind. Sons are censored but there are well over 2000 videos with the promise of more to come.

Word Perhect (sic) is what happens when internet art takes on the mighty word processor... and kicks it into submission!
e-2.org contains some other impressive and ambitious stuff, if you like all that arty malarkey...
