There’s loads to do in Winter in terms of keeping fit and looking awesome for summer! This app let’s you find out what you can do in Victoria! You can also sign up and meet others who may be interested in playing the same sport as you, and possibly looking for an extra team member! Get Fit Vic is made for posting your greatest fitness achievements. It is totally a place to share and celebrate your 5km run you did at lunch or your awesome bike ride you had home! Fitness doesn’t have to be all about counting calories, let’s make it social and have fun!

Sometimes it’s hard to find out what’s on in Victoria, especially when you just want to quickly find something to do on the weekend. Event Now! not only shows events using a handy timemap, it also integrates with Google Calendar to let you save your events, invite friends and set reminders. This makes planning outings quick and easy! To see Event Now! in action please check out the screencast:

Vote 4 Volunteering! Created by @jessukotic & @tammybutow We can all make a difference…but we want to know what you WANT to do to help….vote it up and make it heard! :)

This app asks users to think of what they would like to do in terms of volunteering opportunities. It enables users to add entries for specific skills they hold so that these can be matched to opportunities that can be organised. This app builds a social community through encouraging users to submit their ideal volunteering opportunities. They can then be recommended to attend specific events by other users and volunteer organisations.

The Volunteer Map also allows the user to search for local volunteer organisations to obtain further information.

My Future Victoria allows users to register/login, submit ideas, vote, comment, share ideas to Facebook/Twitter/Buzz and explore Victorian data from data.vic.gov.au using Google Maps. The aim of this web application is to encourage Victorian’s to:

1. Investigate Raw Data

2. Analyse Information – check out the Google Map

3. Brainstorm a great idea

4. Submit your idea and provide feedback/vote on other ideas

5. Recruit volunteers & sponsors for your idea (share your ideas through Twitter, Facebook and Buzz)

6. Give your idea wings in 2010. Aim for Action!

I wanted to have a play with Google Earth…

So my idea was to get a dataset of postcodes and display it on a webpage so that users didn’t have to have the google earth application.

I then wanted users to be able to search for a location and find the postcode for that location by clicking on the map.

All working!

Next I want to add interactivity to it, because I need to be able to have the user provide some sort of service…e.g crowdsourcing information.

Ok so I was sick for ages, like for half this week which made it a bit hard to make an app!

So this is my app created in completely one day – from concept to rollout..

I had to go with something that would be easy and quick but I still wanted it to be useful and look ok! :P

It’s called Next Stop NSW – It helps you find out how long you have to live, and what you should do before you die in NSW! :p
