http://www.earthquakelocator.com is a website that takes feeds from the USGS to display earthquake activity over the past week across the globe. I created my own custom database for the locations which include latitude and longitude data. Also the php script is custom coded to dissect the USGS feed and display the data in a readable format. Let me know what you think. Thanks. This site I built in parallel with my http://findweathernow.com website.
Its nice and something interesting as well .. Keep the good work and i don't wish you to have more good content as its really bad to have latest content about it :$
- You should add more content to the page. - The adsense ad in the header makes the header look a bit crowded I think you should remove it.
Coding wise I think you have done a lot of hard work. If you can put search functionality country wise and city wise them it would be more user friendly. In the current dropdown if you put just the city name instead of continent/city name and sort them alphabetically then that would be easier to search.
I have updated my database with a new field called region, so now I have added a new drop down list, where you pick the region first, then a location drop down gets filled with all the locations in that region. Should be easier to navigate now. Thanks.
