I found a neat iphone app that gives catchy news headlines from Vancouver’s history called In Time. Its a simple interface (just a list of headlines) that leads into short articles that are fun reading with photos of ‘then and now’ that give a little context within the city. I’ve been addicted to it for a few days (until I ran out of stories).

Thanks Kristin, this is great to see. I am interested in your reference to running out of stories–certainly a limitation of this kind of project. I am looking forward to working through this app myself…
It is kind of sad when an artifact runs out of stories, eh? 😉
