Saluti,

Came across the website below.
It is a site that provides geographic maps (in flash) that allows a group of people to plot where they live.

As people add their names, you can see graphically plotted on a map of the world where everyone in the group (forum, etc) is located.

I thought that considering this is one of the more "worldly" forums around, it might be interesting to see just how diverse the GBB is.
(btw: Don Malta, I think the map is embeddable as well).

The URL is ... http://www.frappr.com/

For what it's worth ....

Regards,
Tony

I was thinking about doing this - thanks for reminding me!

It's funny you bring this up TonyD, just recently I believe I mentioned it to Geoff when we were talking about the BB meet. This board as such a large number of posters, from almost everywhere, it'd be interesting to see on a map just how wide spread this group is.

I ran into a problem right away of course I clicked on that link......like not being able to move the pin to scroll over to CA. That map's a little discriminating isn't it??

Anyway, it's good idea.

Yeah J Geoff, is that something you could add to the site? That would be really cool.

Hopefully I did this right...

I added a link in the left-side nav for GBB Members Map...

I'll tweak it later, but, let's make sure it works first.

Please use your Display Name here as your name.
Feel free to use your avatar as your photo. Download it from here, then upload it to there...

This thing is a bit of a pain in the butt so far... it's guessing my location WAY off... and once I told it the town I lived in, I can't seem to move it to my general area. Ahh well, guess that's for the better. But still can't find how to edit your location yet...

Will play with this more later, tho...

Thats cool,done it

Yeah I'm on

I just added myself!

I'm there too... I feel lonely all by myself on the West Coast though.

Well me and Turi are all on our own across the ocean..

Should be easier to use now that I made the map bigger...

BTW - you can click and drag on the map to move it around if you didn't notice... as well as zoom in/out.

I just wish it'd stop asking me to add myself! And in the wrong city for that matter! lol

Yea, I did it! Bibble you're no longer the only one in CA. We still have to get Zia, SB, and Corpuzzi to sign it. It won't seem so lonely.

It appears, however, that I don't know how to spell "sunny". Really I do. How the heck can I edit it??? Stupid! Stupid Stupid me.

TIS

I always asks me as well..

I'm still trying to figure out how to edit the captions myself -- I had to email support to ask them! Will let you know when I find out. But in the mean time, enjoy suny California! (BTW, it's suny here, too, in NJ -- but it's like 17° )

Wow three us over in England!

We just need Yogi to join and we'll have an army..

I'm in!!

Geoff,

Let me know when/if you find out how to edit. It bugs me not being able to change it.

Off topic, there's no "suny" weather in Michigan right now. I just now spoke to my parents and my brother and they said there is a huge blizzard. Malls and churches are even closed. It's 10 degrees right now and nobody is driving anywhere it seems.

TIS

That's a very nice signature you have there.

Nor in Florida! But luckily my parents were outside the range where those killer tornadoes wrecked havoc yesterday!

The weather in Norwich is fantastic. It's cold on a nighttime, but through the day it's very dry, very clear, very crisp, as winter moves into autumn. Not a cloud to be seen at all. I saw three planes in the sky at the same time today, all were at different heights and miles and miles apart from one another, but all were kind of intersecting, and their smoke trails were all orangey with the sun shining on them. It as beautiful.

Not just your driving and spelling, but your seasons are backwards, too??

I should really add to it to show I'm a real fan.

Winter to spring. Whatever.

Shut up.

How embarrassing.

Yeah.

How come you're a fan living all the way down there?

Roeder needs to go, or not? I'm not entirely sure. I live with a West Ham supporter, and he said in September when I first met him that Roeder would take us down, just like he did West Ham. I don't know; I'm a fan of giving people a chance, but come on, we're a shadow of what we used to be.

I think we should hire Fabio Capello. Rumour has it he's a Geordie.

I'm living down in Southampton because I moved when I was younger. I'm still a fan but get alot of stick. I think Roeder broke a lot of promises when we didn't buy a striker and I'm not sure what this Oneywu(sp) can do. You're right about us being a shadow of what we used to be but Souness had a lot to do with that! Yea Capello's orginally from Whitley Bay he used to live next to me.

I'm from Gateshead, but I'm living in Norwich because I moved to Uni of East Anglia in September to study.

I remember watching Football Italia Gazetta on a Saturday morning on Channel 4 once, and James Richardson interviewed Capello (when he was manager of AC)...

Richardson: "What do you miss most in life?"
Capello: "Probably all of the beautiful girls back in Whitley Bay."

Lol some say he even had girls in North Sheilds.

Tried that map link a couple of times, and boy, what a pain in the neck!

It seems to never stop loading, and when I was finally able to exit the site, I was unable to open any other web pages - all I got was a blank white screen. I kept having to exit the Internet then go back on. Sheeesh!

I'm wondering if that site is really only for people with high-speed Internet capabilities (unlike me).

Anyone else have problems like this?
