I’ve been using a ClustrMap for almost a month now and like the simple look it provides: Phatic Communion gets plenty of visitors from the Eastern U.S., fewer from Europe and Asia, a handful from Australia, and almost none from Latin America and Africa.

I should check out the ClustrMaps of others. The paucity of visitors from Latin America and Africa — vis a vis Phatic Communion, at least — must be somewhat related to my subject matter but also, surely, to the lack of connectivity for Latin America and Africa.

I wonder if ClustrMaps might eventually suggest the shape of the New Core?

But look at the map for P.C. linked above: all the dots which represent visitors to Phatic Communion cluster around the green areas of the Earth. Even the drier areas of the U.S. show far fewer visitors — or, none.
