[IxDA Discuss] 'Select Country' dropdown

[Andrew Milmoe]

The other issue is that in Europe users frequently do business across borders... An Italian may want to see the site from a French point of view... or a global enterprise may need to see the point of view of one of their foreign subsidiaries.

We Americans tend to be pretty American-centric. Keep in mind that users from emerging markets (e.g. China) will pass us by very soon.

I suppose the only possible drawback to that method is when the user is
coming in using some sort of 'Anonymizer' software, and consistently showing
up as some foreign IP.
