#ukhols Map is live!

17 June 2009

I am proud to announce my latest mashup #ukhols Map is now live!

Last month I was asked by Vodafone UK to create a Twitter mashup to map the UK’s holiday destinations, to promote their Summer Roaming promotion. Based on that original concept, and with additional ideas put in by myself, ukholsmap.com was born!

The map builds on the tweet format used for the #uksnow Map and uses the hashtag #ukhols to collect and map tweets based on contributor’s holiday destination. If contributors include the first half of their home postcode and their destination, the map will draw a line between the two places and tell you how far you are travelling. Visitors to the site can also see the UK’s top 10 holiday destintations, and read individual Tweets on the map.

The site soft-launched 6 days ago and so far has had 6000 visitors and 500 tweets, and has already been featured on many tech sites, including;
