It's funny how quickly the XKCD map has become obsolete. The giant Myspace Kingdom just looks jarring now.

Porn is the star around which the Internet revolves. One day, it will go supernova and turn into a supermassive black hole. A supermassive black hole needs filling... with a supermassive black c**k.
This map shows neither, and thus is a shoddy representation at best.

They should have hand lettered it. That gave the xkcd map a lot of charm.
The XKCD map was also not just a map of "social networks" but rather of "online communities" which is a much different thing.

They have officially grown to 48 sites to this day. So I guess they have completed the continental sites, now all they need to do is buy out 2 more image macro sites and it will finally be complete?

So funny, sea of desperation because only desperate people go to online dating sites instead of sleazy bars. It's so much less desperate to go home with a person you barely know than to find someone with common interests and beliefs and then strike up a conversation with them.
Not to mention they left out OkCupid.
thescientist213Aug 7, 2010

Closed AccountAug 18, 2010
OK WTF, it's gone. I swear to god it was there - it was definitely a separate island to Digsby, because I noticed that the two were there as separate islands. I bet they included Digg just while this article was on the front page to keep us Diggers happy...
Digg was a small island all by itself just north-east of the map caption when I saw the map. I'll have a look in my browser cache to see if I can find the version with Digg on it.
I swear I'm not going mad...!
Closed AccountAug 18, 2010
I've had some success - I found a version of the map that someone rearranged to make into more of a world-map shape. The person who did it obviously took the map when Digg was still on there - see here:
