Following last week’s launchI’ve had a busy time with follow up activity. Some of this has been from press interested in writing up the story and I’ll give some more updates soon, especially after yesterday’s filming in Leeds for the One Show. In terms of coverage to date, this has mostly been online, see the links below, but also a couple of nice print pieces too:
- Creative Review (Monograph). Sadly this is only available to subscribers.

- The Guardian Data Blog
- Londonist
- Caroline’s Miscellany
- rkcr Blog
- Out With The In Crowd [Link since expired.]
- Eastern Daily Press
