Podcast Flashback (2008) – Podcast 1
In this podcast, Phil and Andy introduce themselves and talk about their development machines (software and hardware). They also introduce the stack that is being used for openupon.com while talking about scalability and multi-platform development. They also go on rant about what it takes to start a podcast. What is OpenUpon? OpenUpon is a web 2.0 site that is under development by Andy May and Phil Carbone. The site has a focus on geographic data. Being a web 2.0 site, it is being designed so that the community will drive the data of the site. Examples of data the site will contain: mapping out a road trip, to getting local crime information, geo-twitter, looking at Wikipedia, YouTube, MySpace, and Flickr entries by geography (or any other social networking sites). The design is going to focus on easy powerful and dynamic searching with a focus on geo and time. Time is a major fallback of many search engines, we hope to overcome that.
