Suggestion

[desertgrandma]

One of the most interesting aspects, for me, of this site, is seeing where everyone is from. How cool to be talking to someone from Australia, the UK, Wales, India, Spain, etc. However, I notice a lot of the new ones, and some of the older subscribers, don't have their locations listed under their names. Is there anyway you can make sure, when people join, that we see where they are from? Maybe some don't want their exact location, and I can understand that, just the country would be helpful.

Just a thought.

I like the idea too. On another forum we actually started a GoogeEarth page, with everyone putting a pin in the globe where we were located. (Of course, Google's images being a bit behind the times ... my pin is right smack in a big patch of dirt.)

I think there's a Frapr map for MobileRead. I've only seen it once.

Huh ... the only problem with that is it won't let me stick in a pin where I actually am. The closest it will come is about twenty miles away.

Maybe that's why I like the Google map so much ... you can put in latitude and longitude. My address isn't on most maps ... not even the most updated GPS maps. And definitely not on the Frappr Map.

Do you really want crazy people like me knowing exactly where you live?

Well the crazy people around here are crazy in a good way. I list my city and no one has shown up yet.

ricky : if it's any consolation to you, i tried to add my pin to the map, and i'm pretty sure i ended up in texas. i couldn't tell you why, i didn't understand a thing.

actually, now that i think about it, maybe that is part of the plot by texas to take over the world, starting with mr... that makes sense...

(resistance is useless !)

Hey, let's meet for a beer! Maybe I'll let you in on our plans - so long as you don't tell everyone about them.

well, my pin could definitely meet your pin for a beer, easily ! you just tell it the time and place. it is already there. i promise, it knows how to keep a secret : you can tell it all about the secret plot.
