WildlifeNearYou.com - built by 12 hackers on a fort in a week (sort of) (simonwillison.net)

Here's the site we made:

Hiring a fort for a week long hacking session is exactly as much fun as it sounds. We got Fort Clonque in Alderney for around £1600 for the whole week - which works out at around £130 per person (the cost of two nights in a hotel). I can't recommend it enough.


It would have been equally as awesome if you had built a fort, which I originally thought was the case. Regardless, cool project.


I love the idea, and I'm sure it will improve once more people join up and contribute, but I put in "portland, or" and it told me to go to the zoo.

Thanks, website.


For all of you Avatar Blues Post Depression folks - this is a mighty good alternative... No really there is so much to explore in our Earth, instead of just being melodramatic about some movie.

Yes Avatar is frickin' cool.
