Unique & interesting site awaits suggestions

**winyourbentley** · 10:29 AM

Guys,

I have just had my brand new site launched - built on a simple, interesting but so far unique idea of mine. It is www.TraceYourHistory.com.

The page is for visualizing visitors' internet history. Now You can see how You have been virtually roaming all around the World from the comfort of your armchair. Visit the site after opening a couple of pages the same day in order to have a better experience. At present it runs under Internet Explorer only. ActiveX and Flash required, but no doubt You all have it...

Some instructions:
- where is menu locates a webpage in the world. If unknown, please try another one.
- my history will show your roaming by a plane flying from one country to another; search is on a country basis at the moment, but I would like to extend it to more detailed in the future.

All feedback and constructive suggestions are welcome!
Thanks a lot in advance!

Go ahead and have a great time at: www.TraceYourHistory.com

Cheers,

While this does seem to be an interesting website which holds a large amount of potential, it was unable to trace my IP address or a random server address which I typed in. I would like to see this interesting map in action however.

Hi,

Could You please send me where You are from and which address you typed in by random - all these info are valuable for us to improve the site.

You can have your history displayed by clicking on the "my history" tab on the left bottom so that You can see the "map in action"...

Thanks in advance!

Alright, when you try to look something up, it shows the example of http:// which shows you need to type in a website address, right? I tried www.computerhope.com and www.mbhosting.com It was unable to pinpoint my IP as well. Also, I live in Florida, USA.

Ah wait, it seems you have made modifications, as www.computerhope.com is being pinpointed as we speak. It did not work earlier. Still can't find www.mbhosting.com or my IP either. I'm trying to see my history right now, and it worked, but I don't understand who it works... Why is there an Airplane? Might I suggest making a map key/legend?

I see... Some clarification on TraceYourHistory.com's operation: it searches for the sites' webhosting location and that is displayed on the map.

The improper website lookup can be derived from the imperfect background table on site details used for the identification of the hosting location. To be true I did not have enough money to buy a 100% database, thus I'm using a free one. I hope to be able to develop in a couple of weeks. Besides, I also met examples where the server is not directly linked or there are too many of them under same webaddress in different locations (for e.g. Google), so You cannot trace either.

Anyway, I am working with my team on the solution and development to make a perfect functionality.

Thanks for your comments and help!

Cheers,

Your IP is strange and annoys me a bit. Is it the IP address or your location? As I am also from Unknown by connecting the net via a LAN webcaster without a fix IP and it is unable to be identified on a country level. Don't ask why... But my IP is identified and displayed.

History is extracted from your internet explorer's history by a script running when the "my history" button is clicked. It collects data and after matching it draws up where You've been in time-order.

The plane is prepared for an airline to be advertising on the page. Besides, symbolizes the international roaming.

What legend do You mean exactly?

Thanks for spending so much time on my page's check!
