The TMF really is a worldwide network of tickling, proven by some facts from our statistics: So far, we've had visits from 78 (!) different countries! Top 10:
1) USA
2) Canada
3) Italy
4) Japan
5) Germany
6) United Kingdom
7) France
8) Australia
9) Belgium
10) Brazil
While USA and Canada as leaders are not surprising, Italy's 3rd place is rather unexpected, as is Belgium (a comparatively small country) on rank 9.
We have visitors from far north (Faroe Islands and Iceland) as well as from the South Pacific (of course Australia and New Zealand, but also Fiji!), from predominantly Islamic countries (Turkey, Indonesia, Malaysia, Egypt, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Oman), from the population-rich states like China and India to extremely small nations like Trinidad and Tobago, Malta, and Gibraltar (!). A considerable amount comes from ex-USSR-states like Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Russia, Ukraine, and Georgia (no, not the US-state!). Africa is represented by South Africa, Mauritius, and Egypt; 12 Asian states and almost all nations from South America (except Bolivia, Colombia and Surinam) show visits, as well as practically all European states (except Albania, Andorra and the Vatican 🙂).
The computer only counts the domains from which the visitors log into the TMF. More nations could be hidden there (over 37% from .com, 26% .net domains, and almost 20% domains unidentifiable by the computer). Another interesting fact: nearly 16000 visits came from .edu domains (university and college sites), over 1400 from non-profit organizations (.org), and we had 195 visits from .gov (governmental domains) as well as 176 visits from .mil (US military comps)!
Statistics can be amusing sometimes! 😀
