New York rewards coders who write new things with public data
This morning Mayor Michael Bloomberg kicked off the Personal Democracy Forum—a conference about the intersection about technology and politics—by announcing a new annual competition that awards cash prizes to Web developers who come up with innovative Internet and mobile applications using city data.
Mr. Bloomberg also said he’d take the grand-prize winner out to dinner.
