The importance of context to data – IP Address vs Geolocate MAC Address
Posted by on June 27, 2012
If this is my IP Address 64.134.26.153, where am I located?
According to the map, I’m in Texas!
We wrote a script to geolocate my Macbook Pro to the available WiFi, real location. Kinko’s in Vancouver BC routes all their Internet traffic via Texas.
IP Address tracking = FAIL.
WiFi MAC Address = WIN.
