Just when you thought you've seen it all, this comes along...
A gorgeous map of the most used and important websites on the internet, plotted and connected according to the Tokyo Subway System, and color coded to their respective categorical interest. If thats not enough, it breaks down the connection points to establish how each site crosses media genres and interfaces with sites of other interests.
Not only is this map extremely fun to navigate and look at, its also an eye opener as to the movers and shakers on the internet today. Essentially, it serves up a who's who of the most important sites in the world (The more heavily trafficed sites being represented with larger buildings).
I was suprised to see Basecamp on there, but then again, it continues to grow in advertising agency usage in terms of project management system. The Pirate Bay also made a pretty hefty entry on the entertainment section. Google looks like the biggest building to me, followed by Youtube and Disney. I was surprised Firefox, Wikipedia, and Digg did not weigh in a little more heavily.
Also, not surprisingly, marketing and blog guru Seth Godin was listed as one of the most important trend setters in the "Advertising Line"
