Wired News has found an artist named Randall Munroe who has made a map of the internet. The lands are based off of the size of a website from how many people use it daily. This map which can be seen on his website, I find, is very humorous and also pretty true. You can find the Troll Bay 4chan has its own Island in the island grouping of forums. One of the largest of the lands is Facebook with state/provinces of farmville. I think it is a very good look into our internet culture. There also was a map made by Munroe back in 2007 where Myspace was huge and facebook was much smaller.I have a picture of the map but here is a link to a bigger map that will make exploring this land easier.
