Nice, except StackOverflow as community is biased towards .net and c#. Same map with github data would show very different results.

Why is it biased towards .NET and C#?

This is pretty cool. It'd be really nice if you could see a ranking by state somehow (e.g. it's no surprise that C# is most popular in Washington, but it'd be cool to see what numbers 2, 3, 4, and 5 are short of manually de-selecting them in the dropdown menu).
