Cool project! I've been thinking about how one could build a crowdsourced geoIP database. Bootstrapping with Mechanical Turk is an interesting approach, especially if you can request workers in different cities and countries. One idea I had was a browser extension that volunteers could install to automatically submit their current location and IP address on browser startup. It would be helpful if the home page demonstrated the passive geolocation results. The page asked for my browser location but didn't show the result. btw the map zooming is very slow in my mobile browser for some reason.
