WebGL visualization The usual problem with this kind of visualization is that, as you add more data, you get what is basically just a population density map. What would be interesting is to see where there are more Github users than you would expect by pure density of internet users.

This is not the case. Examples: NYC vs SF and Madrid vs Berlin. Well, Madrid is bigger and more dense than most of the cities with more github users in this map.
