MIH SWAT

We are happy to anounce that SWATLabs, the showcase for the proof of concept applications that SWAT develops, has now gone live!

Part of SWAT’s work is to stay abreast of the latest web-related technology. One of the ways we do this is by developing applications that serve as proofs of concept for emerging and important technology. And often these apps are quie a bit of fun too!

We have decided to make the applications publicly accessible – some of you may already know applications such as feedalizr – SWATLabs showcases our other work. You can expect to see further applications published on a regular basis. The team appreciates all feedback, including suggestions for future applications.

The applications in SWATLabs have come about in various ways. But an important source of innovations for SWAT is what we call “CodeScrums”. A CodesScrum is where we let one or two people use 5 days to dedicate to creating something new for the web. There are almost no restrictions to the kinds of application that the team can develop during this time. If the idea turns out to be a good one, we develop the application further. find2follow was the product of a recent CodeScrum. We will blog more extensively about CodeScrums in the future.
