There's a new election game with a purpose, just launched the day before yesterday.
Just as the Straight Choice crowd sources election leaflets, Election Champion crowd sources billboards. http://electionchampion.com/ What's particularly neat is that it is also a game. See the rules here. If you're good you become "Prime Minister, First Lord of the Treasury and Minister for the Civil Service". http://electionchampion.com/about/ It's foursquare for politics wonks, who want as a side effect to build and track what's happening with election advertising. Props to Anna for building it. You can upload billboard photos from your browser or Android phone. Anyone here fancy making the iPhone app? Now get on your bike/car and cycle/drive off round nearby marginals with a digital camera, or Android phone. Francis P.S. Top tip, get friends to start playing the game, by photographing billboards you already took (this also helps track how long they stayed up for or when they got defaced), and you get more points. _______________________________________________ Mailing list [email protected] Archive, settings, or unsubscribe: https://secure.mysociety.org/admin/lists/mailman/listinfo/developers-public
