This is a nice idea. My UX suggestions:
- display the heatmap first
- have a prominent link saying something like: add your vote to the map. When someone clicks that link, ask them to enter their location (city or town and country), then ask them the same question the Scots will vote for in the referendum: Should Scotland be an independent country? Yes/No.
I think the auto-detect location causes too many problems and may have privacy implications if, as another poster says, you can identify quite precise locations.
What would be really nice would be a map similar to the Book Depository ("Watch people shop" map):
http://www.bookdepository.com/live http://www.bookdepository.com/live
In this case, you would display a pop-up each time someone voted with the name of their town or city and whether they'd voted Yes or No.
- chriswait 12y agoHi, thanks for all the feedback. I love the bookdepository.com user experience with the live updates. We'll be working on this as we get closer to the date! Auto detection of location is proving to be a bit tricky - we're seeing a lot of votes clustered around internet exchanges in places.

When someone clicks that link, ask them to enter their location (city or town and country), then ask them the same question the Scots will vote for in the referendum: Should Scotland be an independent country? Yes/No. One nitpick - don't show the heatmap first if you want correct poll results. This heavily biases the undecided people into "oh, everyone in Aberdeen says No...I guess I say No then too!"
