I disagree.  First, a lot of the work I do is in North America.
Secondly, some areas are so underpopulated that they would have to
find somebody elsewhere.  Where do they look if there are 30 different
sites?

I think the correct way to do this would be to start with a single
world-wide page and subdivide when it gets too big.  It's obviously a
good idea to sort it geographically.
