Well, I've found a reason to blog again, which I'll get around to actually blogging about soon. In the meantime, see above for a visual résumé of my worldly exploits courtesy of this very cool little webapp at World 66. You can save either the resulting GIF picture, or a link which encodes your travelling conquests.
It's a nice idea done well, but it could do with some improvement in granularity. Visiting 5 states of the US has convinced me that it's a bit like a large collection of countries - certainly in size as the map shows. There's a lot of red there I haven't visited yet, like Alaska. The same could be said for Australia I suppose.
Anyway, friends reading this, feel free to leave a comment with a link to your map. I'm pretty sure Zeal will be hard to beat. Here's what you should put in your comment: copy the example below, but replace "USATBECZFRDEGRNLCHUKIDJPPHTWTHAUFJNZ" with the similar stream of letters from the text box you see below your map on World66.
Note: I've broken the example up to make it more readable here, but there should be NO spaces or line-breaks inside the link. That's the bit inside quotation marks: "http://..."
Example:
My map is <a href="http://www.world66.com/
myworld66/visitedCountries/worldmap?visited=
USATBECZFRDEGRNLCHUKIDJPPHTWTHAUFJNZ">
here</a>.
The comment will show as:
My map is here.
