I was asked to write a guest post for the Built In Perl blog. I wrote something about how I built my site, TwittElection, for the recent UK general election.

In the UK we have just had a general election. Over the last few weeks many web sites have sprung up to share information about the campaign and to help people decide how to vote. I have set up my own site called TwittElection and in this article I’d like to explain a little about how it works.

But why not go over to Built In Perl and read the whole thing there.

Incidentally, on 13th June, I’ll be giving a talk about TwittElection at this year’s OpenTech conference. If you’re interested in the positive impact that technology can have on society then you’ll, no doubt, find OpenTech very interesting.
