Evenin', DB Congress! Want one last chance to spend a day on the road with our president, Dierks Bentley? You still have one more day to submit your "Home" story on dierks.com!
According to his facebook page, "Next Tuesday (November 1) will be the final day to pin and "like" entries. Our five weekly winners as well as the five entries with the most "likes" will be announced next Wednesday. Dierks will choose the grand prize winner from those ten entries and announce the winner of the "Day on the Road with Dierks" on Thursday (November 3). Good luck and stay tuned!"
Music City Network's, Evan Willhite blogged about building Dierks Bentley's Map of Home with a program called "Drupal."
"When one of our clients, Dierks Bentley, met with us about promoting his new single, “Home”, we were inspired to create something meaningful, something that dutifully captured the heartfelt message in his song - we all have a place to call home. It was Craig Dunn, our VP of client services, who came up with the idea that was to become Dierks Bentley’s Map of Home.
As soon as we met to discuss the idea, I knew it wasn’t going to be easy from a functional standpoint, but I was sold on the concept. The idea was that fans would be able to log in and add their own stories of “home” using text, images and/or videos. The stories would then become pins on a large interactive map where anyone could search through others’ stories by clicking on a pin for more info. I loved the vision but faced the challenge of how to build it...With Drupal's help, some fine-tuning of the functionality and an excellent design from Bryan Kemp, we created Dierks Bentley’s Map of Home."
Pretty ingendious, dudes!
I have been so impressed with so many of the entries. You all are so creative with the video slide shows, but some of the photos and story-telling are just as inspiring! It has always been my dream (as I'm sure has been many of yours) to spend a day on the road with DB! Best of luck to all of you!
