We were extremely lucky to catchup with Lillian Grace, CEO of WikiNewZealand [now called Figure.NZ], just before their re-launch of the site (http://figure.nz/) and the release of a brand new back-end feeding up public API access to all the data they utilise.

Cracking interview with Sean Golding (@Stoatphone) from Golding's Free Dive (http://www.goldingsfreedive.co.nz/) in Wellington explaining how, as a young bar, they used the cloud and tech to get the 'boring stuff' out of the way as fast as possible allowing him and his staff to concentrate on being an awesome bar.
