The Guardian’s Free Our Data campaign has set up a poll to help gather people’s opinions on the best entrants for the Show Us A Better Way competition run by the Power of Information Task Force. They also wrote about this in the Guardian a few days back.
As we recently posted about, we entered an idea that we’ve had on the backburner for a while, called ‘Where Does My Money Go?’. In a nutshell, this would be:
A web application that would interactively represent UK government budgetary information using maps, timelines, and best of breed visualisation technologies.
You can vote for the idea at the Show Us A Better Way poll, and see the proposal at the competition page.
