Where Wikipedia Is Read Screensaver
The Where Wikipedia Is Read screensaver shows wikipedia readership by country, key-less. Wikimedia deliberately publishes country totals as ranges rather than exact figures, because a precise per-country number is a step towards identifying who read what. The board draws the ceiling and labels it as one. It's free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
