Having built some widgets for Widgetbox, three weeks ago I've got an email from them inviting me to participate in the BIG Widget Challenge which was a contest organized by Freewebs and Widgetbox.
So, I did this Flash widget that takes information from the United States Geological Survey's Earthquake Hazards Program; this info is partly presented using Google Maps thanks to a component developed by AFComponents, and the rest of the info is presented in an info box which has a couple of animations made with the tweener class.
The contest winner has been officially announced at the WidgetCon 2007 website, so, I'm proud to say that I won the contest!.
If you want to have a look at the widget click here.
Salut!

Hi Ernesto,
I have had a look at your "Moving Earth" widget : congratulations for the prize, your work is beautiful, I am really impressed.
Now, to make your widget into a fully-fledged service, this is what I would suggest you could add :
- statically continent of interest, or whole world
- statically select magnitude of interest (from ... to ...)
- statically select dates of interest (from ... to ...)
Depending on how you use USGS.gov, some of these options may not be possible. However, I hope to hear from you soon.
Cheers, keep up the great work,
Rup
PS : this would be nice on my blog - I have no commercial interests for the use of you widget :-)
