Creating a new site & need an "interactive map of IP's from visitors AND....."

[Lord Xar]

Hey all,

I have something in the works and I am need of some software ie.. flash, perl, php, ruby etc.... that does something like..

Interactive flash map that adds little icons or gives a view of where the visitors are coming from to the site? OR the ability to tie that into those who answer a poll.

For example.

I am a user coming to "xar's site". I select a polling question and that gets updated to a db to show in real time AND because of my IP the flash map updates showing clusters on the map where users who filled out the poll are from.

any ideas?

google analytics will get you really close. you will need to find scripts that interface with the google analytics data export api. (http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/gdata/home.html)


You will also probably want to take a look at awstats if goog is not your cup.

or this is a really cheapo way to do this..

I recommend Feedjit if you're starting simple, you can go with the revolving globe later when your traffic builds up (otherwise it looks funny without too many people)
