-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 It is fun to see servers on a Map, because you see friends around you and it is interesting to see the repartition per towns in a country. Indeed if you take as example Australia, quite sure that all are in the east and it is the same in France, the centre is a desert with no name.
You can imagine if a professional wants to find new customers, he can take a look to the implantation of servers inside the country....of course the accuracy of the Map needs to be wide(Eg: we will never give the address where you live). But for the purpose that we needs, it is may be useless. We need at least - -how many servers per country (based on IP) - -which versions are installed per country - -A map to display the results per country (it is nice) we could generate data each month or each week and once the sql work is done, we could erase the data gathered and key the sorted result, hence we can not give IPs we've erased.
