I was thinkng about creating a map of Housepets readers lately, but this is much easier and funnier than anything I thought about!))

Check the actual website for an incomplete list of locations, and I don't think it records how many times per day!

i always seem to confuse websites like that. something to do with dynamic IP versus static IP, i never really paid attention when it was explained to me. if there is ever an australiadot, i would not be surprised if it were in completely the wrong location
I think this is still kinda cool anyway!

Oh, I see, the app registers the visitors of this very topic. Err...

The locations match exactly those of the posters and the site links to here, so...

Well I'm not completely sure, but judging by what others have said... I think it shows where we live on that map. Everyone who's viewed this topic is shown on that map, which is where we are in the world.

At least I think so, I could be completely wrong!

Yeah, if you click on the map, it takes you to a page that has a list of visitors to this thread (undated every 5 minutes) that shows the City, State, and Country where they live. And the map updates every day.

Edit: or I should say, where they are connecting from, at that time, not necessarily where they live.

And now tell me - don't you think, that just showing you map without any explanations was a good idea? At least, you all started to discuss it...

p.s. I wish I'll ever see this map on housepets main page...
*wishes upon a star*

p.p.s. Press the map and check the list of visitors. As far as I see - it really works...
