Where Are My Readers From?

Posted by Yariv on September 08, 2006

Here’s a geo map overlay view taken from Google Analytics for my blog’s last 500 visits.

As you can see, Erlang isn’t just popular in Sweden :)

Ranked by number of visitors, the top 10 countries are USA (1312 visits), UK (188 visits), Germany (151 visits), Canada (135 visits), China (120 visits), Sweden (106 visits), france (94 visits), Australia (81 visits), Brazil (75 visits) and Netherlands (63 visits).

Where are you from?

Update: I made the high-res map downloadable.

    Wow, I see I am possibly the only person interested in Erlang in the whole Central Asia :)
    Thanks for this great blog!

    And seems that I am only person in Moscow :)

    I see Joel in Gran Canaria :-)
    And the dot on the west coast of France is probably me, except ut should be a bit lower – as, I guess the dot on the northern end of the demarcation line between South and North Korea :-)

    Haha!

    Not useful but curious… It seems I’m of those few from Spain. As far as I know we’re only two in Madrid! (By the moment, as the Erlang Empire will surely expand throughout Spain in the near future :).

    Didn’t know Joel lives in Canarias, one of the best Spain’s places to live.

    We should repeat this within a year and see the progress…

    Cheers!

    This map is only for the last 500 visits as of 2 days ago. Given the traffic volume for my blog, it only represents a few hours’ period. The vast majority of visits isn’t even on this map :)

    Hi. I am a regular reader from Mackay, Queensland, Australia. I came to the site through my interest in erlang. Distributed concurrent programming is obviously the way programming needs to go. But do we achieve it at a programming language (erlang) level or at an operating system level (Google)?

    I guess that little dot in Costa Rica is me!

    I’m one of the dots around Washington, D.C. We’re not all stuffy, “enterprisey”, Java programmers… Well, we don’t all *want* to be stuffy, “enterprisey”, Java programmers…. Unfortunately, it seems that the government has no interest in programming in any other language… I don’t remember the last job ad I saw for this area that wasn’t J2EE or something.

    Staring at the map I think I am the first reader from Washington Heights! Does this warrant access to the VIP section? Is there a VIP section?

    Chris — I think Erlang acheives distributed programming very well in the language level. Even if it relied on the OS for a greater chunk of the implementation, language support for concurrency is a must. jealous — sorry to hear that. Working on a J2EE system wouldn’t be on the top of my list of things to do before to do before I die, either :) Paul — strangely, my filter that’s supposed to block all visitors from Washington Heights is broken. It must be a Ruby on Rails bug or something. Just kidding…

    Now, that’s not fair :) I’m the only visitor from Chisinau, Moldova, and it even doesn’t show on the map :(

    :))

    I guess I’m one of the dot in Madrid, then… :-)

    (the dot in A Coruña, NW of Spain, are surely the folks at the University and the VODKA project…)

    first time visitor here, will probably stay around as I’m studying Erlang at the moment…

    Nice blog, btw, hope everything goes OK in Boston…

    thanks for all!

  13. Dmitrii Dimandt aka Mamut Tue, 12 Sep 2006 12:06:53 EDT

    I just noticed… There seems to be a very large number of visitors from China…

    Nice blog. BTW, I’m from the Philippines.
