What is this, and what does it show? I'm confused but doing it anyway.

Create your own visitor map!

Dude, you must be hard up for entertainment.

It is using IP information from hits to the image you linked on their server and then mapping those IPs to a location. If it finds a location, it puts a star on the map. There are open source libraries and api's out there to do a geolocation based on IP.

Why you picked the dark map without the view of the earth is a question I cannot answer.

Why is it so dark in your world? It's only like 2 p.m.!

It shows where people visiting your LJ are coming from.

Click on the image for city names and such.

If you click on the link under the map, you get a list of the cities where your journal was accessed.

It's an emo soul map. That's why it's like so dark ...

I thought there'd at least be outlines; you know, like a photograph from space. If only some folks in Asia, Africa, and South America looked at it, you could see more outlines. *sigh*

I figured that out once it started getting some stars - and it's a bit creepy, don't you think?

Re: the night-time map: I was hoping to duplicate one of those cool night-time-Earth-from-space shots. Not quite as cool like this.
