Rehoming Irish animals with Web 2.0

NING COULD PROVIDE a software bridge between a homeless animal and a warm and friendly home. This could happen with a little coding using Web 2.0 infrastructure. The idea starts with cloning Bulldogster into a new application that integrates descriptions of what potential dog owners want to descriptions of dogs needing homes. We're studying how to conceptualise this idea as a design pattern in our Multimedia Programming course at Tipperary Institute.
