The Walt Disney Internet Group (WDIG) offers a compelling mix of Disney-branded online and mobile interactive entertainment and informational content and services for audiences around the world. WDIG also provides the centralized technology infrastructure and expertise that underpin Internet and mobile objectives for all properties of The Walt Disney Company and its subsidiaries, including ABC and ESPN.
The past year at WDIG was characterized by expansion and exciting new beginnings – most notably the launch of an all-new Disney.com. In February 2007, the Company reintroduced the popular site, complete with innovative, highly customized new features for Disney fans of all ages. Disney.com has been transformed into an immersive entertainment destination with expanded community and social networking features that have been incorporated into the Disney.com XD and Virtual World environments.
In addition, there are special events like the popular D-Concert series and other entertainment experiences relating to existing Disney-branded properties. Already the No. 1-ranked site for kids and families, Disney.com broke its own all-time highest traffic record in August with more than 23 million unique visitors. It was also nominated for two Technology & Engineering Emmy Awards and honored as one of the top five sites on AdweekMedia's Digital Hot List Best of the Web 2007.
A new version of Disney.com launched in February with exciting new features for Disney fans of all ages.
