That's cool, but it seems to have a limited database of zip codes. It said mine, and one for a town 15 minutes away were both invalid. So, I put in one for a place like an hour away, and it worked. *shrug*

Luleå "Invalid City. Please try again"
Can I just click on my location somehow?

Invalid ZIP code?!? I'm in one of the first ZIP codes ever assigned, in the heart of one of the biggest cities on Earth!
That is one seriously braindamaged database.
Sean, click "not in the us", and then enter "Cityname, United States of America".
I got an e-mail from my good friend Kim Jong-Il about this, too. Apparently when he tried to add himself to the Bambi-lovers' frapper map, it told him that "Pyongyang, Korea" was invalid. He then tried "Pyongyang, Democratic People's Republic of Korea", and it told him that "Pyongyang, People" was invalid even though that isn't what he entered. He then tried "Pyongyang, North Korea", since due to its being hosted in the US, the Frapper site would most likely be under the control of Southern Korean seperatist propaganda trying to convince it that there were two Koreas. That was invalid. Eventually, he figured out that it was to be "Pyongyang, Korea (North)". How counterintuitive was that?
Poor Jong-Il. Now, if only there were a Frapper map of DPRK citizens. It would be empty.

Very counterintuitive - North Korea does not have any internet connection.

Well, I wouldn't say I "know him". He's more of an acquaintance, really. You know, a friend of a friend.
;p

This is incorrect.
In DPRK, there are two Internets.
One is the Internet that is mostly only accessable to government officials and rich people for a fee, ie, that of teh outside world.
The other Internet is a sort of Korea Wide Web, with content carefully monitored by censors, where North Koreans can look things up. Hotels, restaurants, schools, the government, etc., may have KWW websites generally.
