Where are your fans and friends?
Below, you will see a screenshot of the new "Friend's Map" that was added to everyone's friend page.
This displays the distribution of one's friends on the planet.
You can check out your own friend page, or follow one of these links...
my friend page
Icotec's friend page
The maps are interactive, so you can click on an icon and view who it is, see their message, and click to their site on ArtistServer.
=======================
One of the interesting things about seeing this distribution on a map, is that you can see how a band could organize their tour based on the most likely route through the clustering of fans and friends.
Possibly at a later date, I could add some type of option which would normalize the plot points (basically, getting an average based on a range), then plot lines between the points, which would give you an ideal tour based on people being interested in you and your music.
The Friend Maps requires Flash, and are provided by Yahoo!
BTW - some of you may notice your geocode plot point displaying your location incorrectly. To some degree, this is intentional, as you are only geocoded down to your city - not your address. But, it is possible that you've been geocoded FAR from where you live, if that is the case, post a message in the support forum - let me know if you changed your country/state/city info, where the map shows you and where you should be. I'm sure I'll need to add some type of map point correction screen - allowing you to replot your point, but so far, the need hasn't come up.
If you see any problems, let me know
