Why NZLive.com?

April 30th, 2009

It seems like yet another New Zealand government’s websites is under fire, just after SPARC debate/controversy. This time it’s NZLive.com.

NZLive.com is a New Zealand government funded website for “connecting you with New Zealand culture – art, performance, music, books, film, festivals, heritage, sport, recreation and more.” (from NZLive about page).

Event Finder, a New Zealand privately-owned IT company, has claimed that government has been wasting tax payers money to try to implement features already are existing on Event Finder’s system. Event Finder set up a website dedicated to this called whynzlive.

There is a rather lengthy discussion at the New Zealand PHP User Group mailing list. And there is also a computer world article about this.
