Last week our blog had its 100,000th visitor, an exciting milestone a
little less than a year after we began. In honor of the occasion we have
a blogger-generated map showing were you, our readers, are from. Not surprisingly, Turkey
had the most, with America a close second and regular traffic from
Canada, Western Europe and China as well. We also wanted to revisit
some of our most popular maps. First and foremost is "Still Seeing Red", whose
popularity was due to its supposedly revealing that Erdogan's Canal
Istanbul project was actually an American plot [Obviously America's real scheme involves the Bosphorus Funicular]. Also popular have
been an Ottoman maps of Beijing and North America, Zach Foster's excellent
essay on mapping Palestine, some beautiful maps of trains and trams, and
our home-made map of the changing border between East and West. And
finally, a few maps that weren't that popular, but are still some of my
favorites: this Goat map, Naci Dilekli's hand-drawn Dervish Map (or Sema
Schema) and this incredible guide to oil wrestling by world champion
Adali Halil.
