Where in the world are Sheldonistas?
Saturday, March 01, 2008 - 12:57 PM
It's time again to check in and see where Sheldon readers are coming from! About 65% of Sheldonistas are from the U.S., 10% are from Canada, 15% are from Europe (1/3 of which are from the UK and Ireland) and the final 10% are from all over the map (but big turnouts from Australia and NZ). Here are some fun breakdowns:
Top 10 U.S. Cities:
1.) Seattle (by a 15% margin)
2.) New York
3.) Chicago
4.) San Fran
5.) Minneapolis (!)
6.) Portland
7.) LA
8.) Washington, DC
9.) Denver
10.) Austin
Top 10 European Cities:
1.) London (by a huge margin)
2.) Helsinki
3.) Frankfurt
4.) Berlin
5.) Munich (Man! Germany in the house!)
6.) Edinburgh
7.) Amsterdam
8.) Dublin
9.) Paris
10.) Brussels
Top 10 Canadian Cities:
1.) Vancouver
2.) Edmonton
3.) Calgary
4.) Ottawa
5.) Montreal
6.) Winnipeg
7.) Toronto (...big drop-off after Toronto)
8.) Kitchener
9.) Mississuaga
10.) Saskatoon

I assume that's Portland, OR, instead of Portland, ME?

OHHH yeah, I'm another one representing the Puget Sound region! You know it's because we all have rain-induced duck feet, right?

You should do a "Top 10 Australian Cities" survey! Oh wait, Australia doesn't even have ten cities =(

I wonder how high up the Europe list Cardiff is. England, Scotland AND Ireland made it in there. Wales needs more Sheldon. :(

Yay, Germany! Of course, that's only the ISP's address, I assume. I for one live neither in Frankfurt nor Berlin or Munich.
I'm really surprised to see Helsinki's that high up. Well, all the Finns I've met seemed to have a good sense of humor. :)

Sigh... where is Korsør, Denmark? We suck. Being a tiny country with roughly the same population as the London area is a poor excuse.
So how do you find out where we're all from? IP adress type stuff? :)

Oh well, if it comforts you, you live in the country of awesomeness ;)
I've gone to Denmark many times on holiday, I've always loved it!

How did the Finns beat the Swedes?! C'mon Sweden, we even have more people than them!
Then again, I can't be talking. I don't even live in Stockholm anymore...

Louisville, Kentucky a-checkin' in and I love Sheldon. And Arthur, and saying "Squee?" when I didn't understand what my husband said and he has to repeat himself.
Thanks for the Facebook strip--thought I was the only one who refused to respond to those emails.

Yeah Seattle! Hey Dave - when you're up here for Emerald City Comicon we should have a Seattle Sheldonista Meet Up! I bet you could attract a good group. :-)

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that Paris made the list, what with
bandes dessinés being so popular here and all. But we love you out here in the middle of nowhere as well!

Not good enough! We want maps! With icons to show numbers graphically! Now!
(Hmm, perhaps too much caffeine this morning? ;) )

I'm in New Jersey, but that's practically
New York - everybody in the world seems to think so.

Aaaah, you can always tell a real New Yorker. But you need to avoid using long words when you tell 'em.
