You may already see some dots where others have clicked. Below the map are the addresses of the people who clicked on the map - select any address and you'll see the location on the map (with one dot this time) where they clicked. Anyway, in time the map should be pretty full of dots and look rather cool, sort of a visual guest book!" It is, of course, strictly experimental.
