Fancy a Random Day Out...check out the Virtual Earth integration on this funky web service...!
So BT currently have a competition underway for a MashUp around webservices and the following is a submission by Paul Clarke:
https://www.randomdayout.co.uk/
The general premise is that you let the website take you to new places in your area and suggest and entire day for you when you are at a loss for things to do - kind of funky though and it did provide for some new things I hadnt tried in my area!
The services Paul has linked into include:
Microsoft Virtual Earth API
Mapping and Yellow Pages search functionalityGeonames Geocoding Service API
Reverse geocoding for postcodesEventful API
Obtaining info on local EventsGeograph API
Georeferenced photosFlickr API
