That was interesting. I filled it out, predictably answering Atlanta, Atlanta, Atlanta. However, who would have thought Lubbock, Sioux Falls and Boise was have such big spheres of influence? There are lots of states which have no city commanding any sphere of influence at all.

Very interesting map…but I am too cautious about submitting ANY personal information.

There have been a couple of major net outages that are causing problems when you get data from servers in various areas.

However, Abby did remove the Flickr Daily Zeitgeist in an effort to alleviate problems (which is fine with me because it bugged me more often than not anyway).

You don’t enter your name or any identifying info. It’s only your address, so your data is connected with your address and not with you.
