I have noticed quite a few of you here have some very good skills when it comes to "Geo iping" Who's the best?

Let's see some of your work.

Spam away!

Hit up borked.

It's dependent on how good your IP -> location database is, not the programmer.

Very true!

Will all things considered. I think there are a good amount of folks on here needing this, and don't know how to go about. (This is from companies I have dealt with)

The actual coding is easy as pie for geoip...

The coding part is extremely easy, most languages have API's to connect/fetch the data from the database. The hard part is getting the best quality database for converting the IP to a location.

this is 100% true. my first geo-ip tool was junk. it would be off as far as 25+ miles or not even show for some people

i decided this is something that Im going to use and spent the money on the right application. I noticed that my accuracy is a lot closer than a lot of sponsors

This. I've used several prebuilt systems and threw together my own SQL db based upon public databases. MaxMind is the most common, but the freebie's only so good.

That's why I usually just do country

or county based with MaxMind's free tool. The pay-for-updates one is usually spot on. Borked's usually puts me in Northern California; the most recent MaxMind (actually 06-1-09+) puts me just a city away.

b0rked would be the man

fuzebox · 07-01-2009, 02:31 PM

Once upon a time that would have been me

GT-Omar · 07-01-2009, 02:35 PM

Many votes for b0rked so far.

b0rked, if you see this can you hit me up?

borked · 07-03-2009, 12:19 PM

Thanks for all the votes guys - yeah, geoip is kinda easy, but I launched a webservice to help others that are less adept and it's taken off like nuts.

So I immersed myself in that whole stuff and now loving geospatial databases (amazing shit can be done with postrgeSQL on this) and the such and somehow became a book reviewer for anything netgeo (2 books so far),.

Amazing what a micro niche can bring ;)

Anyways, lmk when you're online Omar - I'm off out for dinner in the next half hour, but I'll be around all weekend+

I can only use the Lite db, which is auto-updated on the 5th of every month, so should be the same. Maxmind restrict their paid stuff to pure javascript for my webservice, so imposs to offer that.
