    And I believe that only a small fraction of the users are actually on the KiltMap. How could this be improved? Probably no way as so many folks are very keen on privacy/anonimity on the web.

    I treid that kilt map and two things happened: 1 got frustrated because it didn't make any sense. 2 some clown started spamming me pretending to want friendship when they were trying to sell grunge wear!

    Another problem with the map is that it only default loads 50 members. You have to add members 3 or 4 times just to get all of the members to even show up. I think it is an interesting tool to see the spread of the Xmarkers, but it defiantely is not an easy to use tool when trying to find others in your area.

    And prolly none too accurate over time unless it auto updates our migrations. I hadn't thought of updating it after my move until just now.
