 		Great job M!

Just a thought on Stephenville, perhaps its giving directions from a central point TO stephenville, which would mean you'd be looking for a location somewhere south of there rather than north? I've only seen two green dots, and none of them are in that area though

I was trying my best to get a copy of the spinning earth so that I might slow it down and get a better look at the red dots (when they appear). Didn't have any luck using Cam Studi to record it. going to try some others in a bit.

I've made a video. Since youtube and google video are quality killers, I'd uploaded it at veoh. Well, it also isn't really a hq, but I hope, you can use it in some ways...

And I've updated the Omphaloi Map. The green marks are (actually, "is") an active Omphalos. The red are "pendling".

 		Just a question that I didn't see mentioned... any ideas why this locations have omphalos?? Is there something common to Stephenville, Lunglei and Dongying??

I'm searching for anything that connects these places, but nothing so far...

Could be just coincidence but I tried it again just now after your post and got a red dot on my first load of the screen.. I'm going to do the same thing.. I'm going to open a browser, login as one of the 6, and let it run for a bit...

For coordination, I'm going to login as sofia696.

I guess Weezel has a point here, I will leave the side open as well, and I guess the more people do the same the more red AND green dots will appear

 		Funny coincidence (?):

Looking again on the drawing which I made to explain the "Great Circles", I was really surprised, how perfectly my white line went through ....
STEPHENVILLE

I really thing it is coincidence, because I drew the white line very roughly, so that it was tangential to the Meridan and Arctic Circel crosspoint. But I am really somewhat surprised Surprised

Question--I've been on the site for about 30 minutes, and it still looks like the sphere is gaining dots. Not sure if they actually "stick" though. Does the sphere continue to collect dots as time goes on?

 		I think the important thing is not logging as someone, just connecting to the page (but I've log on as chariton696 just in case)

Right now I'm getting the red dot near göteborg in norway, but can't pinpoint it : /

to paraphrase that Visa commercial: and then I found out göteborg was in . . . Sweden Very Happy


And I think that dot looks more like it's in Denmark. Or even northern Germany. And if in Denmark, will need to learn that keyboard conversion tool to get those extra letters for a lot of the cities....
