NIN.com
Sudjam works with one of the world’s most digitally savvy bands to deepen the connection with their ravenous fans and forge an unbreakable bond:
Remix.nin.com. Fans are granted access to over 25,000 full-resolution audio tracks for remixing, uploading and voting. A unique Flash-based algorithm displays content.
Tour.nin.com. Users track the band while on tour using Google Earth Media. A simple way for fans to upload tour images they capture by integrating with their YouTube and Flickr accounts.
Forum.nin.com. One of the most popular sections of this community-moderated experience, fans fully engage with each other.
Access.nin.com. A GPS-based feature, Nearby, allows fans to see other fans in their vicinity.
To coincide with the album release, Sudjam used Google Maps to create a real-time visualization of user download activity around the world. The site was so popular that website traffic peaked in excess of 4GB during downloads of the album. The entire website is modular, using internal web services for seamless communications between various aspects of the site.
