I came across this on another site, thought it was cool. Might post the link in the Big Brother area too just to see where everyone is from.

Of course there will probably be some pranksters but its will be neat to see anyways :)

The link will open a new window with a map of the world and you can plant a lil marker and leave a note.

Ryn: FWIW - I'm using Netscape 4.79 currently and the link gives me an error message:

However, Internet Exploder err..Explorer 6.0 works fine and I posted on there too. Thanks for the link! :)

you can select the map to use - and one choice was north america, but I knew as soon as I picked it - someone from Europe or Asia would give me grief ;)

That's cool Ryn! Is there a "blank" one I can send to a friend of mine, in case he wants to set one up for his website?

Also, I noticed a quick window open up, then quickly dissapear, up in the upper left corner of my screen. It happens every time I click "back" from zoom, and when I close the map site. What is that, some type of tracking device, or what?

I have WebTV and I could get to the beginning, but how do you get a flag, and what are the icons (I can't see what they are) and how do you put yourself on a map????? All I could do was put myself on a list with the other 25 TVCHer's.

Well Crap, Corriecat, I got it in the right state! I was not too sure about even that. I am about 30 min from Worcester...close enough!

That is some tiny map...do you think 3000 people are gonna fit?

ok--I tried it but when I click on the thing that says post it changes right away to cancel and nothing happens. I know RG isn't taking up the entire state of MN.
