Markers move around the map registering Wikipedia edits in close to real time. Weirdly compelling.

I don't know if this is cool, or creepy. Having on occasion updated things on Wiki, I'm not entirely sure I like the idea that computers around the world are watching (and probably recording) where I was, and who I am, when I did it - or that topic stalkers could get my IP information from that page.

And what is the actual practical use of it?
