Interesting the very large number in the D.C., NYC and LA area, and the very low number in the Bay Area.
Relatively popular on the border of Nunavut and Manitoba though.

#62A dick-map! Great! This needs statistics: dicks per square kilometre, dicks per million inhabitants … Edit: There is a surprisingly low number of dicks in this map. Lots of bored teenagers/mid-twenties.
It would quite funny to replace the pins on the map with d*cks for those users showing off their wares.

#64this is why I'm scared of the South http://grab.by/2YNw
I actually saw that during my one ChatRoulette session a couple of weeks ago. Whew, thank God it's just a clip someone is running.

#65Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.
There are at least 100 towns within 25 miles of my house. One of them is New York City. I guess I'm not concerned about GeoIP's accuracy... this is one of the advantages of living in a very dense area.
That, coupled with my complete lack of desire to ever use this website should keep me safe.

#66The IP address is in the filename of the image!?!
And the first part looks suspiciously like a timestamp...
Edit:
In [4]: datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(1267675073)
Out[4]: datetime.datetime(2010, 3, 4, 0, 57, 53)

Might be the time of day data was collected?
Re: Chatroulette + GeoIP + screengrabs = Chatroulette Map
#68how does this work?
Chatroulette uses p2p for video. So, I guess this new app simulates a client by connecting to chatroulette server, getting a new peer, geolocating his IP and taking a screenshot.
What are the mechanics of this peer-to-peer interaction with both peer nodes being Flash browser plug-ins?

#69I've been in the webcam business since day one, this is one of the reasons why we make it purposefully hard to get to the real IP of our users.
Only after you jump through a fair number of hoops can you expose your IP, if by then you aren't warned yet you probably can't read.
We've had some stalking issues due to this in the past as well, especially the 'early days'.

#70Wow: "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"
They put student names in their hostname? That's... bad.
