4iP and Facebook: smart

Sat, 09 Jan 2010 15:01:09 GMT

amie Arnold’s added some more colour to yesterday’s announcement that 4iP will be funding some applications built with the new London Datastore. And the announcement is that the other partner is… Facebook. 4iP needs some glue to bring its investments together, and that glue might simply be the people who use them (rather than a more corporate portfolio approach). So a hook-up with Facebook makes a lot of sense. And not just on this project, either.

BBC News - London unveils digital datastore

Thu, 07 Jan 2010 13:51:22 GMT

More than 200 data sets detailing life in London are to be put online by the capital's governing body. 4iP, Channel 4's Innovation for the Public Fund, said it would back the best ideas with a £200,000 cash pot. Boris Johnson, London Mayor, said releasing the data would make the GLA more open and accountable. "I firmly believe that access to information should not just be the preserve of institutions and a limited elite," said Mr Johnson in a statement. "Data belongs to the people - particularly that held by the public sector - and getting hold of it should not involve a complex routine of jumping through a series of ever decreasing hoops," he said.
