Cool - I now have LJF's home at the tip of an upside-down blue pear in the middle of my browser! - Isha (Marysia)

Scary, ain't it? I put in my address -- and it showed me a picture of my house! Yikes! I didn't know they were travelling little side streets -- slightly scary! 8-} - LJF Wolffe

Your *house*! I want a picture of my house too! Oh, I love your house - it is so cute! - Isha (Marysia)

You might like to take your full address out of there LJF, and just leave the zip-code. It looks like it's viewable to anyone. - Isha (Marysia)

Oops! I thought I did . . . now trying to edit the entry -- if it lets me . . . it oughta! - LJF Wolffe

. . . but it won't. I can't edit the tag, and I can't delete it either, apparently. I've never gotten along well with GMaps . . . grrr . . . - LJF Wolffe

I think your address has disappeared now. Do you want the photo to stay up there? I think I can delete it if you like. - Isha (Marysia)

Nah, I left the house on purpose -- trust me, there are plenty like it in the area! I did figure out the edit -- HTML, pull the address but leave the geostats. Should be enough for privacy . . . Thanks for the pointer! - LJF Wolffe

btw peeps' email addresses show up when we hover over their names in the Collaborate box - Isha (Marysia)

Very cool! I will check back in a few days and expect to see Australia and the UK explode. This year there were very few US (at least midwestern US) participants to start with and precious few by the time it was officially over. - liz

Just one problem - now that we've created entries on both sides of the pond we don't seem to be able to get our local maps back. We need to be able to look at separate maps for each area that 30dcers live in. - Isha (Marysia)

You can zoom in and out to see the different areas. Click on the little buttons or use your mouse. - Jen

Where are the little buttons? I've been clicking all over it with my mouse to no avail. - Isha (Marysia)

Here you go Marysia, a Map with just london. Created by using the 'Link' feature at the top of the map (it stores the view in the url) http://maps.google.com/maps... - Tim Brennan

That doesn't do it - it starts off with a map of London and then after a couple of seconds it changes back to a world view - Isha (Marysia)

Ok, I found how to do it - drag the marker on the thermometer (on the left of the map) upwards a bit, then it zooms in a bit & you can then drag the map so that the area you want is in the center. Then you drag the marker up a bit more and so on, until you've got the resolution you want over the area you want. - Isha (Marysia)

If Tim lives high up he can watch the 2012 Olympics without leaving home. - Isha (Marysia)

Liz, you seem to live bang in the middle of the road at Elevator and Main :) - Isha (Marysia)

You'd better believe it Marysia. Check out my view http://twitpic.com/hxcg - Tim Brennan

ROFL! - Isha (Marysia)

I like your 2012 work in progress twitpics Tim. - Isha (Marysia)

Thanks Tim - have added an Aussie address :-) - Kim Baillie

I love this map project - I check it every 10 mins. Must get on and do some work... - Tim Brennan

Excellent! thanks tim - TrafficBug

This is wonderful! Great to see where everyone is, and so cool to see 30dcers all over the world. And no need to put your name in if you want to stay anonymous (just give another description or a vague address). Tim, you are a genius coming up with this idea and a good egg for following it through. - Isha (Marysia)

Bumpety tumpety bump bump. - Isha (Marysia)

Come on folks, over 2500 members in this room, and only 20 of us on the map? I know we can do better :-) Not sure who created this google map initiative, but great job! - Ritesh Lal

Tim Brennan created it. I second that - great job. - Isha (Marysia)

Fun idea, I added mine, looks like I am all alone in Utah. Be great to link up with someone nearby. Good idea Tim! - Tim Barrie

And I'm all alone in Germany :-( Time for me to get back to London I think! - Jen

It came out of Tim & I discovering that we live just a mile from each other. We thought it would be great if people had a way of finding other 30dcers who live near them, and Tim came up with this way of doing it and set up the map. - Isha (Marysia)

Marysia, are you guys planning another London meetup by any chance? Spend so much time there, would love to join if there's another one. - Jen

Jenny I posted in this room about it 8 hours ago ;-) - Isha (Marysia)

Oups - I'm obviously too dumb to do a search properly. Blame it on the lack of sleep. Thanks Marysia! - Jen

Thus the reason for # tags but it looks like that fell through the cracks, so there ya go - Ron"micronet"Harwood

Wow I am surprised I am the only one in florida - Mark South

Well still only 30 ppl there yet Mark - we need to get the word out there so that the other 30dcers come flyin in to make their mark. - Isha (Marysia)

I've changed the map's title to "30 Day Challenge map". For some reason it previously appeared as the name of a 30 day challenger. Fingers crossed the correct name will stick. - Isha (Marysia)

I like it.. I agree with Marysia though... not many folks here yet, nobody near either of my locations. - Susan

Can each person who adds their name and location please ensure that the name of the map is changed back to "30 Day Challenge map" or something similar. Otherwise the map changes its name to your name. I've just had to change the name again. - Isha (Marysia)
