World Map of webOS Developers By Location 17

Have you ever wondered where your favorite webOS App Developers were located around the world or even where the highest population of developers lived? With people all over the world, including Australia, Canada, Mexico, Germany, Israel and more, it's an interesting (and difficult) thing to keep track. But Gomez Industries has helped us out with trying to find out where everyone is, and we now have an interactive map to see where each developer calls home, as well as give some details on the projects they have worked on for our platform.

What's cool about a map like this is that it allows people to see what developers are in their hometown (or at least, home country). Would have never guessed that the number of German developers was so large, or that the developers of Carbon webOS (an upcoming Twitter client) were from the United Arab Emirates? The US still leads the pack with the largest population of developers world wide, but we'll see if that changes as more add their pin to the map.

The map is still very incomplete, though, as many developers have yet to add their points on the map for people to see. For example, the webOS CONNECT Event that we told you about the other day (coming up on March 30th) has close to 300 people registered already, but only 3 developers have listed themselves on our map here. And with another event coming to Paris soon after, we can't imagine there being only 3 developers from France to show at that one as well. But I suppose we'll have to see.

If you are interested in adding your point to the map (as a developer, not just a fan) then take a few moments to create an account (top right corner of the map) and use the Secret Key "webOS" to set your point, and as soon as the guys from Gomez Industries are able to approve it, you'll see your name added to the quickly growing list of developers. If you aren't a developer but are interested in becoming one, it's easy to get started, but check out a few of our articles first.

Now the question remains - which of those developers is going to build an app that pulls all of this data in for us to see on our devices?

UPDATE: The creator of this map, Manny, has asked for one favor from those interested in adding their names to the list. When putting in details about yourself, give a list of apps that you've work on or projects you've finished (patches, apps, themes, etc..) so that people can know who they are looking at when they click on your point. It also helps him cut back on spam and find legitimate developers to approve.
