It was the state in early June, I don't know how the ballance goes KML/GeoRSS, but I imagine mostly KML. - Look closely at Ireland in the full screen version, the Northern Ireland coverage closely matches, Geograph, so a definite link, but I strongly suspect that Geograph (and maybe even nearby) contribute heavily to Great Britain.

I'd like to hear more about the chart Ed Parsons showed. Looks very cool. That would be wild if your GeoGraph was the reason the UK has so many placemarks. I'm assuming the slide showed a heat map of all placemarks (as opposed to all KML files)? I assume you mean third from the left at the front (holding the banner)?
