While you are busy clicking away at the mergers, it has been straight forward to record where in the world everybody is. (This comes from your IP address).
There have been merger hunters from at least the following countries, others may be represented.
| Algeria Argentina Australia Austria Bangladesh Belgium Brazil Canada Chile China Cocos & Keeling Islands Costa Rica Croatia Cyprus Czech Republic Denmark Estonia Finland France Greece Germany Honduras Hungary |
Iceland India Indonesia Iran Ireland Israel Italy Jamaica Japan Jordan Lithuania Mauritius Mexico Moldova Netherlands New Zealand Norway Panama Peru Philippines Poland Portugal Puerto Rico |
Romania Russia Saint Lucia Serbia Seychelles Singapore Slovakia Slovenia South Africa Spain Sudan Sweden Switzerland Taiwan Tajikistan Thailand Trinidad and Tobago Turkey Ukraine United Arab Emirates United Kingdom United States Yugoslavia |
But this is not the whole story, the most active in terms of clicks (in the last month) have been:
| The United States The United Kingdom Netherlands Canada Germany Brazil France Greece Australia India |
The other related observation has been at what time of day you take part. This has been recorded over three weeks (ignoring the period just after the Voorwerp Press release).There are very significant “time of day” effects; these have been broken down into weekday and weekend usage profiles. There was only one hour during those three weeks when nobody clicked on an image.

…and what hour was that?
Nice, but the ‘tiff’ picture won’t show on my browser. (IE6).
It would also be nice to have numbers.
A Swedish reader here that could explain the Swedish IP.
See here for the waveney.tiff: http://www.galaxyzooforum.org/index.php?topic=9228.msg174584#msg174584
I’ve replaced the TIFF with a JPEG… better?
Much better, thanks Kevin!
By the way, I want to know something: does anyone else on the zoo live in Wales at present? I’ll explain why I ask as soon as possible
I live in the Arctic but am on holiday in UK Englande!!!
Ah well my home country isn’t on the list but where I live right now is…well yeah, not only from me but from others who are also clicking from here.
