18.Mar.2010 American Apparel does Social Media

I really like the current trend of government opening up their “data” to the public so that they can play with it to make it useful to others. The MBTA has done this and developers have gone on to create apps that track when the bus is coming (I am a big fan of Catch the Bus and wish it included more bus lines).
I love that this contest focuses on data and design from an aesthetic POV as well as a functional. Great stuff and thanks to @e26ld for the head’s up!

An interesting article on user-generated content.
“There are a lot of things agencies should be worrying about…. But the whole “random consumers are taking over Mad Ave” myth isn’t one of them.
