Kyrgyzystan seems to be too high on the list. Any guesses?


With Alexa data your results will be skewed because you will only count visits from people with the Alexa toolbar installed. For whatever reason, people in Kyrgyzystan are more likely to have the Alexa toolbar.


I'm accessing HN from the UK...


London here.. Though I'm in Liverpool today. But I'm actually from Texas.


Texas? Hehe, London as well, also hail from Texas. :)


Ipswich! I'm from Birmingham originally


Moved to Manchester for the University


Manchester here too.


Snap :) from Lincolnshire


Scotland!


Me too - Edinburgh


Ditto.


Scotland too


Canada


Toronto has a huge presence on Hacker News out of those that come from Canada. At first I thought it was one of my monikers ("A Toronto Data Guy") but after linking to some of my colleagues blog posts and checking out their Google Analytics results, it turns out that Toronto is many times over represented.


Toronto here also. We need a HN Meetup. at MaRS, or a pub or something


Agreed. How about an emergency HN pub night tonight at Sin and Redemption? Say... 7 PM? I could submit it to the main page.


The emergency made me LOL! haha check your email bud


Montreal but soon Toronto here.


Waterloo here.

I would think that we would have more of a presence on HN.


I'm in Waterloo as well, and agree that it's surprising there's not more of a presence here.


Can't believe no one's said Vancouver yet. Oh well, it's only 10:30, everyone else must be sleeping in.

[Edit: Oh wait, imack is in Vancouver, but he's from Waterloo. That explains why he's up so early.]


Ditto Canada. In Vancouver after spending undergrad and master's at Waterloo.


I thought Canada was the 51st state :-p


Guelph here.


Edmonton, Alberta... :(


Upvoted for Canada.


I'm also in the Great White North, Kingston, ON to be more exact.


Also from Canada, but moving to Chicago. So I am a North American; literal on two counts.


Ottawa here!



Hacker News Summary was recently featured on the front page of Hacker News. Here is a PDF export of the number of visitors only from Hacker News and what country they came from.

I suggest an upvote for the post that already mentions your country..


I think it would be more interesting to find a country that has no HN user. If there is any (I guess it isn't). North Korea, maybe…
