SHOUTcast Geo Location Listener Maps
1 Aug 2008 | 1 Comment | posted by James M | in Industry Insider
Wavestreaming.com customers will now be able to view their current listeners in Map form. We have added live listener maps to ALL SHOUTcast streaming accounts.
Our system finds out the geographic location of your listeners based on their IP address, it can then use the Google Maps service to create a visual representation of where they are in the world.
It also provides useful information such as the player they are using (iTunes, WIndows Media, Winamp, Realplayer, Flash Player etc) and the amount of time they have been listening to the stream.
This is an exciting and new service for our SHOUTcast customers. As part of our ongoing development roadmap, this service will be included free with all SHOUTcast hosting accounts.
To sign up with Wavestreaming SHOUTcast and take advantage of our Geo Location Maps – visit our website;

We use Google Maps to allow you to keep a very close eye on your listeners, in real time.
Zoom in on your listeners. Try and spot the millenium wheel!

Wow. This is another super feature which I will include on my station at 1radio.org for all DJs. This is a great addition to the tools we provide our DJs which already include a show shoutbox, song requests/status, show RSS feeds and messaging.
