drivers of change voting application

In 2007 we worked with Artificial Tourism to build a prototype Drivers of Change voting application for use at the National Retail Federation conference in NYC. The app quite simply allows us to create a real-time tag cloud based visualisation of the number of votes for an issue in a Drivers of Change card set. It has been used in several environments since including PopTech (2007), the World Economic Forum Africa (2009), TED Global (2009) and more recently as an iPad app at the launch of the Jordan Drivers of Change project.

The data set reflecting the thoughts of leaders and opinion formers is growing to scale where it is starting to become interesting in both a temporal and spatial scale. 2011 will be an interesting year for the development of this platform.
