2. Web service to help both locals and
tourists alike discover the best of the
Philippines with unbiased community
ratings.
3. Problem
How
can
we
populate
our
database
with
places/
venues
as
quickly
as
possible?
..with
only
limited
resources
such
as
domain
knowledge
and
people.
4. Solutions that we tried
Google Places API
- Only few registered places
- Complicated way of adding new
places
- Limited PHP library (at that time)
5. Solutions
that
we
tried
OpenStreetMap
- More registered places than Google
Places
- Not so powerful and extensive API (at
that time)
- Slow server response (API request)
6. Solutions that we tried
Foursquare API
- More registered places than
OpenStreetMap
- More activity community
- Updated and Dynamic data such as
check-ins, trending, photos etc..
