What do you think of creating a map of all the Fluther users?

Asked by eponymoushipster (20297points) February 12th, 2009

What if we created a map, pinpointing where each jelly lives on the planet, just for fun?

What would be the best program to go about doing it? google earth? a mashup site of some sort?

Definitely. Stop getting so much lurve @eponymoushipster!!!
I thought you meant just a list of all fluthereers, not that kind of map. I I have seen that before, and refuse to put myself on it.

Very cool. I can’t keep track of where everyone is from.

@fireside yeah, Jed is my brother (do you know him?) and I have another brother named “Barefoot Jerry” who lives in the garage. seriously

fireside's avatar

How the heck do you add yourself to the map?

fireside's avatar

You have to sign in or create an account first. then click the link and there will be an option to Edit.

Finally, I’m on the map!

I’d like to thank Google for the account, and my old co-worker, D, who invited me to get my own Google account, and of course, Fluther, without whom there would be no map ::sniff!sob!:: nor would I be typing here before you all tonight…

DrasticDreamer's avatar

Ah ha, figured it out. I am now on the map. Pretty cool.

eponymoushipster's avatar

I added myself to the map (well, where i’m moving in two weeks)

tiffyandthewall's avatar

i made a google account and i still have no idea how to add myself.
am i technologically challenged or what

eponymoushipster's avatar

log into the account.

then, click on the map link in this thread.

look for a button on the left hand side Edit. click it.

locate your location. click the pin icon overlaid on the map, and drop a pin on that spot.

type in your Fluther name and whatever details.

again on the left hand side, press Save.

dunzo!

tiffyandthewall's avatar

oh. oh wow, i feel dumb. thank you very much haha.
i was just clicking on hollywood, FL over and over wondering why nothing was happening. i thought it was a sign that i should really be doing a homework project right now instead

Likeradar's avatar

Oh crap. I just tried to add me and I think I f-ed something up. Can someone else check and tell me if I broke the internets?

DeanV's avatar

@Likeradar: Its fine. Map’s still good.

I added myself, and (surprisingly) I’m not the only one behind the redwood curtain!

but i am the only one in humboldt county…
