Awards And Certifications From August 24-26
TourMidland.com wins Statewide Award: Midland Tomorrow, the economic development corporation serving Midland County, has been recognized by the Michigan Economic Developers Association for development of www.TourMidland.com, a virtual tour of Midland, Michigan. MEDA has announced that Midland Tomorrow is the winner of its Website Award for a community with a population of 50,000 to 100,000 people. TourMidland.com accomplishes this by using technology from Midland-based Map-N-Tour Inc., www.map-n-tour.com, which has created a software package based on Google Earth. This software can collect photos, video, text and links about different locations and display them all on a single map, allowing users to "fly" around the community and access this media directly and efficiently -- and then click through to individual community Web sites for further information.
