ParkatmyHouse mashup expert joins the OTHER media

Written 09.01.08 by: Jonathan Briggs

the OTHER media is delighted to announce that Anthony Eskinazi, the entrepreneur behind www.parkatmyhouse.com has come on board as a consultant for a number of interesting mashup related projects. Anthony is working with the in-house development and research teams as well as directly with some of our clients to show them the power of combining their data with publicly available data to create new web services and applications.

This new way of thinking about the web is usually unfamiliar to organisations who traditionally guard their information closely. Allowing other individuals and companies to use some data to create brand new applications, and even involving site visitors in adding their own data, transforms the relationships between companies and their customers.

Anthony has proved this with his make money from renting out your driveway project ParkatmyHouse. This mashes up data including Google Maps, from local amenities data suppliers, from sponsor Zipcar and from customers, to create a comprehensive marketplace for parking in London and elsewhere. Anthony built the entire site himself and is skilled at thinking though prototypes and opportunities for other businesses.

We are glad to have him on our team.
