User location visualization
Hi Everyone,I generated some interesting images for a publication Heidi is working on yesterday, and thought they'd be worth sharing.I took 10,000 external IP addresses of active hosts, did a GeoIP lookup for their lat/long and then plotted them using google maps. The first is a set of points, and the second is a heatmap (generated with heatmap.js).Enjoy!http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/download/points_june_19_2013.png http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/download/heatmap_june_19_2013.png

Very cool maps. It's interesting how you can see a very clear division in the united stated, the right half is almost fully covered while the left half has only a few sparse dots. And western Europe is pretty much totally covered as well minus the northern countries.
