Opening the Guardian.
The Guardian opened it’s archives to the world through the “Open Platform” APIs less than a month ago but already it’s creating some interesting results.
First up, for those of us who love profanity, there’s an analysis of swearies used in the paper. Clearly the Guardian needs to work harder on including “wank” in its output.
And secondly, take a look at the Guardian Trends app that allows you to compare how often things feature in Guardian articles. The apps author uses Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton as his default example graph… but you can do anything. Such as Steve Jobs vs Bill Gates.
It’ll be interesting to see what else can be created with this…
