Good afternoon folks. As you may recall, more than a month back I gave you all a breakdown of where SBI readers were checking in from. Since the feedback to those figures was so positive I decided to do it again.

Here are the Top 25 cities outside of North America for SBI readership (Keep in mind that aside from London, which would finish somewhere between 25-30 among overall cities with most SBI readership, the total numbers for these cities are pretty small compared to the U.S. numbers):
