First off its nice to see technical ieg's being proposed. How do you plan to gelocate logged in users. Logged in user's ips are considered sensitive and your tool will not have access to them to do geo ip stuff on. You could maybe try and process user pages but that sounds difficult. -bawolff On 2013-02-16 1:30 PM, "Basil George" <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all > I am Basil George, a research scholar at IIIT, Hyderabad< > http://iiit.ac.in/>, > India.
