One of Daylife’s hopes is that by making available a platform for building newsware, we help support, even if in a small way, some more creativity and innovation around new news user experiences. There hasn’t been a ton of innovation around news online (especially as compared to other categories, like shopping) in the past decade. In part because it’s a lot of work to manage the data and analysis – which is where Daylife comes in – we can do some of the back-end heavy lifting, and let folks far more creative than us go nuts.
We have a Developer Challenge running, and some of the early entries are hot. Check out the video for Newsflash, by Guus Baggermans, a gesture-based interface for people to triangulate their own truth.
Super-cool, Guus!
