How Map Apps Get Made, Distributed circa 2008
I wonder if this series of events (or one like it) is becoming the norm for app development/growth? Is there any money in the process for anyone or is this simply part of the contest/marketing infrastructure? Here’s what happened:
Wired plays with Platial tools.
Makes interactive map of bands named after geographic locations called “Wish you were here.”
Leaves it be.
It has some 9000 visits.
It wins (ties) award for best music map in the 2007 Platial + Frappr Map Awards.
Platial makes it into a Facebook app anyone can add to their page.
