How hard is it to reliably extract an area code from an IP address? Now that would be nice. Kind of like craigslist, but invisibly partitioned by area code.
- ddorian43 12y agoi think maxmind has ip-to-areacode library/db
- sn_master 12y agohmm, yeah. I think I can do that, maybe as button when the user clicks it shows him the top posts on the 'wider' subnets and he can see them without having to switch his default subnet. It will come in v2 then !
- meowface 12y agoThe problem with IP geolocation is that at the city and ZIP code level, it's just imprecise enough to be kind of annoying for something like this. It's very possible 2 people in the same ZIP code may be geolocated to neighboring but different ZIP codes. At US state (and often international province/region) level you generally get nearly 100% accuracy, but that's probably too broad for something like this. Unfortunately I'm not sure there's really anything in between that you could use.
- eli 12y agoLess than that. Maxmind only even claims 90% accuracy for US states. Zipcode would be well below that.
