Expats Mapped By Echo
International readers of the Sunderland Echo online can be seen at the click of a mouse thanks to its interactive map.
The website features a Google map where users can add their details to mark their location in the world, and they have been doing so in significant numbers.
Other visitors can view the profiles so expats have been using the service to contact old friends on Wearside and in many cases, to reassert their love for the Black Cats.
In addition, some returned expats are using the map to get in touch with people back in their former home country for chats about old times.
The map also provides a glimpse into the international nature of news websites and shows the Echo currently enjoys a presence from Tokyo to British Colombia.

Good to know the Sunderland Echo really did some upgrading. Adding a Google map is fantastic and so much helpful. Good to know that they are doing great in parts of Asia particularly in Tokyo. And come to think of it, British Colombia? Wow, even Canada was penetrated by the Echo. Amazing! Now it is definitely time to rekindle our love for the Black Cats!
