After my last post on local.live misplacing my local supermarket, I noticed that local.live has a “Locate me” feature where you can either install their location finder software, which uses wi-fi to pinpoint your location, or you can use the old fashioned IP detection service that looks at the ip assigned to your machine and attempts to find your location based on that. Now they do give the disclaimer that IP based location detection is not an exact science, as the IP assigned to your machine may not really show as coming out of your location (I believe the IP address for the Hilton in Chicago was resolving to somewhere in Florida when I was there in December). So just to make sure where my IP resolved to I did a search, and found an online service that returned the information on my IP address. It got me right on the nose.

So it was time to see if local.live agreed. I clicked on the IP location detection button and… was returned a map of Delaware.

I guess that at least they got the right coast…
