Does anyone else find this disturbing in a Big Brother sort of way?
Very disturbing. I'm not going on Big Br-... chatroulette again. It's just geoip though, so it's accuracy is low.
I do hope so, there's a man 2 streets away from me, masturbating into the camera.
For the record, it seems that the UK is a world leader in this regard.
how does this work?
...where are all the Russian users?

This is going to give HR departments an extra method of determining who to employ, at least. And given the number of people exhibiting their penises, I'm foretelling another drop in employment.
Well, clicking around for two minutes I ended up seeing a group of map points that all resolved to...a domain specifying the res hall of a major university. I'd say that destroys any hope of quasi-anonymity.
"We'd like to advise maine.edu to stop using student's names in their hostnames. We've decided, at least for the time being, to hide IP & host information as some user-identifiable information was found in some entries."

That was the first question I had, "whoa, is GeoIP that accurate?" Sadly the best I could quickly find was this ( http://www.maxmind.com/app/city_accuracy ) which says that, as of 11.19.2008, GeoIP correctly resolves to 25 miles of the actual location 83% of the time.
