Is this what the internet looks like?

The web consultancy Information Architects Japan has produced a map of the internet, based on the Tokyo Subway plan (click on the image for a larger version).

There are, it seems a few in-jokes for those who know Tokyo: "Yahoo! is in Ueno, a nice place but nothing is going on there," while "Skype has conquered a place that doesn't exist", according to the people who designed the map.

There's more information, and the option to buy posters or download screensavers featuring the map at the iA website.

OH SO ITS THE WEBMAP, no wonder I got lost....I've been using it as a map of the underground, silly me.
