Its great, they did it, its out there and its different. If everyone did not reinvent the wheel, we would all be using Yahoo Old search to search the web instead of Google. The "Re-invent the wheel" phrase applies to some cases, not all cases. Most cases I believe is an excuse for laziness On Wed, Jul 27, 2011 at 10:33 AM, Kibui Maina <mainakibui@gmail.com> wrote:
@muendo yeah neat idea,
@mugo just shows tht U dont need to go learning a framework (Kohana) to get ur idea out I like Ushahidi but lets be frank here how many people out there are able to tweak it to suit their needs? and theres no reinventing here google apps are doing most of the work the rest is just cleaver use of code. Plus this proves tht theres always more than one way to kill a cat.

Reinventing a wheel is too much work. They should have gone for ushahidi.

Hi,
I wonder how simple it would have been to use an Ushahidi/Crowdmap instance.
But I like the idea. Impressive :)

Hi all,
No need to think too much :) these guys are using about 7 pages; html, css, php, javascript and fusiontables as the datastore, I got a chance to look at their code b4 they went live and am amazed at what they were able to achieve with some good logic and use of the very basic tools we developers use on a day to day basis.
