Meebo use all over the world

A 15-minute slice of worldwide Meebo activity. Try and spot yourself on the map!

The map shows approximately where IMs have been sent or received through Meebo over the past 15 minute slice. Lighter dots represent areas with low IM activity (even a single IM!) and red dots show areas with lots of IMs -- sometimes tens of thousands!

To build the map, we look at all the IP addresses of Meebo users IMing over the past 15 minutes and use a database to locate the users, or at least their ISPs, as accurately as possible. Then we plot the points with varying intensity on the map in that spot using GMT, a mapping toolkit.

The map will update from scratch every 15 minutes so come back and check it out again. See if you can find yourself on the Meebo Map!
