Map toy

A map showing the approximate location of everyone who has loaded the page. Cool. Ganked from madlori.

ETA: Okay, that's a weird system. It wasn't working before. Now it should be. Boo.



Create your own visitor map!

Yeah, I don't get it either. I think I might just take it off my page rather than try to figure it out.

You need to create a login and attach it to that, I think. At least that's what Lori's edits suggest.

Well, they have a piss-poor user interface if they don't tell you that! They certainly imply you need only copy and paste. Harumph.

[owlmoose.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It's still not updating, either. Maybe there's a lag time, or maybe it's just broken. Oh well, not worth losing sleep over. I'll let it stay up a bit, see if it gains anything.

It's working now! So, did you register? (I decided I didn't care enough and deleted my post. I probably don't care enough to add it back, but in case I do...) Maybe we are just too used to things being instantaneous.

[owlmoose.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I did. And then it took a few minutes to start updating, and it still doesn't update instantanously. So it's still cool, but maybe more work than it's worth. ;)

Hmm, it doesn't seem to be showing me! Do ya if it's an IP thing?

[owlmoose.livejournal.com]

I'm sure it uses IP addresses. It also seems to take a while to update; maybe it only uploads a new map every certain number of minutes? I bet you show up eventually, unless your IP is somehow scrubbed of your location. (Is that even possible?)

[regann]

Actually, if it is IP addresses it's reading, I probably won't show up (or at least correctly) because mine is usually masked. Because I am a supah sekrit spy!

So I may be the ",,United States" on the list because it can't read my location. I shall watch and see. ;)

I see my triangle, I think.
