Hwy67

Read content on-/offline.Receive alerts & notifications about towns along Hwy67

Information is gathered from over 30 news sources at varying frequencies, but no less than 4 times per hour. A sophisticated filter algorithm identifies and categorizes relevant items, which are then published and linked on the site. Regionally important information, including local weather, jobs, and live audio feeds are mapped into the site as well.

The Highway Platform’s aggregator pushes data, including text, images, GPS location information, and seismic data that passed through the filter, into a remote, highly customized WordPress content management system.

A visually pleasing theme, featuring responsive web design (RWD), is then used to present the gathered information. Using the twitter handle @hwy67us, the Highway Platform also automatically tweets in near real-time about newly published content.

The mobile app can be configured to receive push notifications for one or multiple towns in the vicinity of California State Route 67, e.g. Julian, Santa Ysabel, Ramona, Lakeside, Santee, Alpine, Descanso.

Push notifications are especially formatted to display appropriately on Android Wear Devices, from which the full article can be displayed on the phone or a synthesized (text to speech) summary can be listened to.
