The Difference Engine – deadline extended

Incubator/accelerator programme The Difference Engine has extended it’s deadline for applications, for various reasons, the most important being that it gives applicants worldwide longer to apply.

As Jon Bradford, the founder, explained, he’s had endless invites to talk at events that he can’t attend ahead of the closing deadline

So it makes sense to push things back, as he explained on The Difference Engine news blog.
