I’ve been running ClustrMaps for two days now and the statistics are starting to come in. Honestly, more people are reading all this than I expected. However, the point of this post is to point out that the mapping feature is giving a few odd results. Most specifically, shown below, it seems that someone is accessing this blog from the Pacific ocean somewhere to the west of Indonesia. Go figure…
UPDATE 29 April 2006: The folks at ClustrMaps have confirmed that I need a geography lesson. That dot happens to represent visitors from Guam. (If that’s you, give a shout.)

Hi… it’s legitimate; possibly the North Mariana Islands, or Guam… we might have a chance to look into this more closely next week, or drop us a line if you want to pursue it… our geolocation database is quite accurate, and updated regularly… you’d be quite amazed!!!
All the best, and thanks for using ClustrMaps!
