I am writing to you in relation to a project that I am working building a geographical map of the Internet, and I was wondering if I might receive some help by entering the name of your nearest city on my web page at:
http://www.networldmap.com 


My web page then maps your virtual location to your geographical location, there by generating the data that I need for my project.  I am trying to build a reasonably good map of the net, I need an awful lot of people to tell me 'where' their part of the net is.  If you would like to help me build a map of the Internet, then all that you have to do is just enter the name of your nearest city in the single text box.


I want to assure you that I do NOT record e-mail addresses, (or URLs for that matter) in my world map, so by helping me with this project, you are definitely NOT going to be opening yourself up to more unsolicited mail. My site doesn't even ask for your e-mail address, it only asks for your nearest city. If you would like to know about how I feel about protecting your privacy then please checkout my frequently asked questions at http://www.networldmap.com/~s98513125/faq.htm#Answers


Oh, and if you would like to know what I plan to do with the data, well I can see all kinds of uses for it, from analyzing web traffic to geographically targeted web advertising. I would also be very interested in hearing from anyone who may be interested in assisting, investing, or otherwise in the development of any of these possible uses.
