Interest in (Google) Map of BLF Users?

Off-topic Chatter

I think it’d be fun, interesting to see what areas users are from. Map porn and such.

Excellent idea… :nerd_face:

Great idea. Strictly voluntary participation. Should be interesting to see the distribution of flashaholics on a map. Reminds me of my Economic Geography class in college....

If you figure it out, I’ll play. Sounds like a pretty cool idea. The poll might also be a good idea, to see if it’s really worth figuring it out.

Hit counter map

that’s really cool, thanks for the link!

We’d obviously need SB in on implementing that. It says free for up to 2500 hits a day.

I’m not sure if it has the option to show all member locations, instead of just visitors’ locations.

I was thinking more along the lines of being able to see what members are in your area or state. That would work (w/ clustrmaps) for someone out in the boonies, like me, but not so well for people in highly populated areas.

I mean, everybody knows from my ID that I'm from Tyler, TX., but the hit counter map might be interesting to see the concentrations, from the number of times members come to the forums.

Sounds like a good idea.

I think it would be a cool idea…as long as I didn’t have to pinpoint my super secret bunker-compound-weapon and flash-cache J)

i like the idea of us mapping our self, that way those who dont care can put their exact address, those who do can put town or nearest city/county. this could be a cool project

12

From memory isn't sb from the dark. Google maps may have a hard time with that one. Yeah I think its a good idea. I would know who to pester for different things then.

13

Great idea :beer:

I'm game. My location listed is not that close to where I really live.

Click this link to add / edit your information. Then just follow the instructions on the left pane of the map..

Note that you need to be logged in with your Google account first.

Let's see how this goes. In case of failure I'll try to remove the map. ;)

Cool to see members scattered around in the world, thanks

all concentrated around major metro areas with “light pollution”: who needs a flashlight :wink:

Likewise. Chicagoland covers a lot of real estate...

Nice!
