Show A Worldwide Map of Forum Partipants

My brother and I have been developing a free service for mapping users.

This html snippet can be placed in your layout or footer to start tracking and generate a map of forum participants --

Code:

<a href='http://www.mapvisitors.com'>
  <img src='http://www.mapvisitors.com/m.png' alt='Map Visitors' style='border:0'></a>

Then just click on the button to see the map of users. For instance, go down on the right side of New Eastside Blog just below the weather and click on the red MapVisitors button, when you drill down you can see there are a lot of visitors from the Chicago region, as would be expected for a site with a neighborhood focus!

We are pretty proud of it so far, let us know what you think and tell your friends

Hey thanks for the suggestion, we finally got around to letting you use a custom button --

I'll give you or anyone in here who reads this post a free custom button (i.e. waive the $11 fee), just mention the free "vBulletin Setup Free Custom Button Offer".

Jon just finally got all set up again with a new Core 2 Duo laptop and he is no longer living with his girlfriend in my parents basement, he has a house!

He says he is getting an Internet connection soon so he can resume development on the site.
