Hackday project: Threadbot


So our Yahoo Hack Day project finished quite well. We didn't win any of the prizes on the go - but we did get an evening of heavy drinking covered by the lads that came on over :) the "hack" is now hosted - so to access it, go >Here<.

Our hack is basically an amalgamated forum search engine. 5 programming forums are currently coded in with their Xpath queries etc in place - so when you perform a search - it searches all of these forums and tries to extract the most relevant results. It works pretty well and I see it as something I will definitely use when I wish to browse for technical or programming requests on these forums.
