The Tourism Information Portal, that New Media Labs is building in partnership with Smartguide, is entering the final sprint (SCRUM and 3 week sprints being our chosen methodology). The Tourism Information Portal is a Google Earth-based mashup content management system. The Tourism Information Portal exposes not only Youtube videos and Flickr photos of the major tourist attractions in South Africa, but also audio and video content that is owned and managed by Smartguide.
New Media Labs can’t wait to launch this one - the Tourism Information Portal is like nothing South Africa has ever seen before. NML has also become a 20% shareholder in Smartguide.
