In the vein of keeping it updated, it will be difficult if people move. I'll be moving after I graduate at the end of this year, and the Knoxville entry will be gone.
Sadly, it doesn't look like there's any chance of a TN meetup starting anytime soon anyway...
Would there be a way to get the "location" information people put into their profiles automatically parsed into a Google map like this?

Send me a message when you move, and I will update your dot.

I'm sure there is, but I can't do it. If there are any GIS people here, I bet they have/know of a program that can do it.
Google maps disappointed me in that it doesn't have an optio...
Earlier this month, Metus did a post asking for LW-ers locations. I thought it would even more useful to have this information in visual format, so I created a Google map. You can access it on the website below. Unfortunately, I am terrible at this post-writing interface, so I can't get the image of the map to load onto here. You'll have to click the link to view it.

(If you haven't filled out the poll yet, please do it! If more people submit their location info, I'll add them to the map.)
These are only for US locations that had a 5-digit zip-code, or a city name. I may or may not map the other countries. If someone else wants to volunteer, send me a message, and I'll add you as a collaborator to the map, so you can edit.
