A team from The Times won a two-day journalism hackathon, ending on Friday, in which six teams from UK newsrooms were given the task of "re-imagining commenting". The winning idea was a "thermometer" which "takes the temperature of comments" on The Times website using sentiment analysis. The Guardian team received a special mention after coming up with the concept of badges for commenters.
