The Guardian are becoming regular users of the Google Visualization API to create interactive rich media content for their website. Two weeks ago The Guardian used the API to create a Best Boutique Hostels Map now they have produced this Alternative Festivals Map.
The map is as an interactive guide to small UK events, up-and-coming European festivals, and readers' tips from across the world. Using the Visualization API means it is very easy to create a tabbed sidebar of the mapped data. In this map The Guardian have tabs for 'Alternative UK Festivals', 'Our Euro Picks' and 'Reader's Tips'.
