Rough Guides: Building a portal to the world

Travel Publisher Rough Guides was looking to drive interactivity through its site. As a response Metia created 'A Rough Guide to the World' - an interactive web service which combines user generated photos from Flickr with hundreds of existing Rough Guides travel experiences.

Site visitors were encouraged to add their own geo-located photos, which were then synched with existing Rough Guides content - to give a fuller website experience.  The site was selected as a global showcase for HTML 5 and the launch of Windows Internet Explorer 9.
