“Last up was Steve Veerman (@veerman) who demoed Social Hamilton (tentative name), a web app which aggregates social media information from ‘places’ (businesses, restaurants, schools, etc) across Hamilton and allows a user to quickly find events and updates in the city.” March 26, 2012

Similar to my community event aggregation project, the idea behind Social Hamilton is to better connect you with the Hamilton community. Social Hamilton is a web app which aggregates social media information from ‘places’ (businesses, restaurants, schools, etc) across Hamilton and allows a user to quickly find events and updates in the city.
“DemoCampHamilton6 will be happening Tuesday March 20th, 2012 from 6:30pm to 9:00pm in the Twelve Eighty Pub @ McMaster University (1280 Main Street West Hamilton, Ontario).”

Problem: I want to find social networking events in Hamilton, but event details are posted on a variety of sources (Tourism Hamilton, Kijiji, The Hamilton Spectator, etc) and are very cumbersome to navigate.
Solution: Event search crawler specifically designed for Hamilton
This is my most active project currently and I hope to release a working prototype in the very near future (mid February?).
This project began with a cloudy and cold day in June 2011. I noticed that there were few resources in Ontario dedicated to realtime beach reports and weather conditions. I wanted to take a stab at this problem, and the end result after two days of hacking was http://beachnet.ca
Over the past several months I have given much thought regarding potential site improvements (better mobile accessibility, expanding coverage to all of canada, etc). I hope to tackle these improvements in the near future and post my thoughts on the process here.
