YRS 2010

We've worked hard - coded, gathered data, tweeted, made spinning wheels, and had a few sleepless nights. And It was all worth it. We won three awards in London - Michael won an award for 'Pick-My-House', Josh, Ben and Rob won an award for 'whatBlock' and Ben and Josh won 'Most Likely To Be Bought' with 'Bus Timetable'. We also got the most laughs for our wheels and lots of good response from Tim's rap. All in a weeks work ;)

Help wanted by YRS!

Could anyone with a few spare minutes out there helps us gather some data about which websites are blocked inside internal networks? Ideally we'd love to test it in schools but since they're out for the summer we need to test it in corporate environments. If you want to help just go to the website -http://dev.dfey.org/whatblock/, tell us which sites you see (or don't see), as many or as few as you want. If you want to do all 37, take the tour but if you can only do one or two that's fine! 

Thanks.
