A map of Pharynguloids

I'm shamelessly stealing this from Crooked Timber—using Frappr to create a map of Pharyngula readers. It's darned cool, and useful, too. Next time I'm traveling, I'll be able to look up who's living near my destination, so I'll know who to parasitize (oops. The map looks pretty desolate right now with just myself flagged out here in Morris…now it's going to be a desert for sure).

Have a feeling you won't be travelling to India any time soon! But let it be known that your renown spreads far and wide, to distant shores as well..

I just added my location. You do have an international audience. As some of the Crooked Timberites have remarked, in areas without broadband, your readers may well be under represented. I would not consider using Google Maps on a modem link.

OK, our photo is up, aren't we cute? =)



ps: LOL, my submit word was sperm.

The map was just GREAT, PZ smile I was proud to add myself! I should get all my fave bloggers (a pretty long list) to create their own maps too...

Damn, not only did I have to add myself to your map, but this is so cool I now feel the need to start one for my own blog.

PZ, you'll have to change your remark about a desert. Right now, you have more than 80 members on your map!

Greetings from an interested non biologist brit. Great site PZ and thanks for the reading list the other day, may try and pick some of those books up so I have a clue what you're talking about.

My "nope" meant "no shoutout" -- can't edit it now. Sorry.

I've added my location as well, though I don't think you'll be traveling to Singapore anytime soon.



Trackback: Map out your group using Frappr! Tracked on: Stupid Evil Bastard (63.247.143.6) at 2005 10 26 12:39:23
Over at Pharyngula I found out about a new service called Frappr that lets you create a map for your group using Google Maps as well as post photos of yourself. PZ is using it so readers of his blog can map out where they live in a general fashion -- it only accepts zip codes, not full addresses -- and the idea is so damned nifty that I had to steal it for myself. So, if you are an SEB Regular and want to divulge your approximate location then head over to the SEB Readers Map and……

Wow. Three of us in puny little Davis, California.



#45516: — 10/26  at  02:47 PM
Is there an actual USA *MAP* on that page? If so, I have to report a bug to mozdev because my Firefox browser shows only a list of members with photos and shoutouts.



#45517: — 10/26  at  02:48 PM
Frappr doesn't seem to extend to New Zealand, boo-hoo. You'll just have to imagine at least one pin over Auckland.



#45518: Mrs Tilton — 10/26  at  02:53 PM
Nice! I have only one quibble, and that is with the post above, not the map:

'Pharynguloids'?

Please. I like to think of this website and its readership as a family, in the best sense of the word. The correct term, therefore, would be Pharyngulidae.



#45519: — 10/26  at  02:56 PM
Never mind; I just had to adjust my javascript filter to bring up the map.

No readers in Antarctica, eh? I heard it was a hotbed of RedState Penguins, anyway.

fyreflye:

I was able to add mine via firefox. You need JavaScript on to do it though...

It looks like I'm the only one in Chico... not too far away from Davis.



#45521: Linkmeister — 10/26  at  03:03 PM
Sheesh. Hawai'i is so small that my pin shows me out on Johnston Island or somewhere southwest, despite using an approved USPS Zip Code.



#45527: Kagehi — 10/26  at  03:51 PM
What! It only accepts the first five digits of a nine digit area code? Bah, that could be at least three different cities here, with a 'large' gap in between them. Heck some websites won't even accept the five digit version, because it can't tell 'which' city I am actually in.

If your ever in Bergen, you can catch me at Henriks... aquavit is on me.

Courtesy of Pharyngula and Crooked Timber, Frappr! provides a map that readers of this blog (both of you) can add themselves to. It's pretty neat, in spite of that exclamation point. Please feel free to add yourself to my map.

Can someone please visit the Panda's Thumb and rip Paul Nelson a new one for me?

Thanks.

See the recent thread re the abuse of SJ Gould.

Cool, but I'm disappointed by your lack of local fans..

Okay, why does it keep turning up "invalid city" for frakkin' Toronto??



#45553: smijer — 10/26  at  08:27 PM
Done...

A Pang... don't know if it is using old or new US postal abbreviations (or the U.S. abbs at all) for Quebec... IIRC the old one is QC, the new is PQ... I don't know how Canada does their own abbreviations/codes... but you might mess around with that.



#45560: A Pang — 10/26  at  09:09 PM
Hey smijer, Toronto's in Ontario last time I looked, but thanks for the tip smile Turns out if you wait long enough it autofills the city name with the right provincial abbreviations, etc.
