WWF Supporters Map
In 2009, Interesting were approached by The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) to
assist Google with the development of a pledge location application. Interesting
were to contribute their expertise to the existing map solution, enhancing the user
experience.
Interesting worked closely with Google and WWF to develop a flexible, modular application
that can be inserted into any of the WWF campaign pages. Campaign pledge information
entered by users are stored by the application into a database, which is then displayed
in a Google Maps based interface. Users are able to use the standard Google Maps
controls to view vote numbers and where in the world these are geographically located.
The WWF Supporters Map application was completed in November 2009 and is currently
used on a number of campaign pages including the
Earth Hour website .
