OT: Fun stuff for your web site...

Yeh. Off topic and all that, but good fun (in a geeky way).

You can get a free rotating globe hit map for your web site - see my page at for an example. You can drag & spin the globe, and click on it for more detail. Google Analytics give some of that info, but not in real-time.

The people behind it are .

Quite cute, I thought...

Neat. I visited your page once again and was able to turn the globe upside down. Now the world turns backwards and I'm afraid my simple gesture could cause worldwide mayhem and flooding! :O

Oh what a neat gimmick! Thanks for pointing it out. But I would never
include this on every page of a website, but it has to be done in order
that all visits are counted, am I correct? That is a little sad. ;-)
Hmm, maybe I will start a visitor's center or something like that on my
website and include the globe there.

Does anyone know how much memory and bandwidth this little friend
consumes?

All the best,
Jens

I only have it on two pages - every page has Google Analytics, so the main info I get from that. The map is really just a bit of fun.

Doesn't seem to bad on my PC (but I have an i5-750 cpu now) - about 3% CPU and almost no bandwidth according to task manager.

Cool stuff!
It can even be used to show peopel that the closest distance from Copenhagen to Chicago is NOT straight across the Atlantic but over Iceland and Greenland.
