LocalGov Website Embedded Events Service
On the back of my organising the London Localgovcamp earlier this year, I get to hear from a lot of people developing a variety of different things for Local Government services online. From time to time, there are interesting things.
This, for example, is an embeddable events listing service, by GlobalDataPoint, a company already involved in both creating and finding uses for event data streams.
