- 1Bit, on 10/12/2007, -2/+108I need a poster of this.

-xkcd's alt text for this image - Tiak, on 10/12/2007, -1/+89Dear God! How do I get safely from my last.fm to digg?!! There be pirates in them waters!
- AlphaEta, on 10/12/2007, -3/+84Dear sir,
Will you kindly shut the ***** up?
Thank you,
The adults - profOblivion, on 10/12/2007, -0/+76You can get one - soon!
http://xkcd.com/store/ - profOblivion, on 10/12/2007, -0/+68Look at "The Compass-Rose-Shaped Island" near the middle, and the map becomes that much more genius.
Oh, and see also:
Map Of The Internet -- http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/map_of_the_internet.jpg - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -15/+82@Dolomite
No, your the Lame one here, would you stop with the ***** key, people that know how to use it, has already printed it multiple times and cut it into there desk and possibly memorized it as well..
So PLEASE just stop the spam.. - databyss, on 10/12/2007, -1/+60I'm sure you mean the Pr0nosphere....
You can't draw the atmosphere that wraps the planet on a map. - pathy, on 10/12/2007, -11/+59Link to the comic page instead of just the picture, ya' *****. http://xkcd.com
- darkstar949, on 10/12/2007, -0/+46The homepage link only works for one day - here's the link to the actual comic: http://xkcd.com/c256.html
- sikosmurf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+41Main site - http://xkcd.com/c256.html
(you can't get Alt-text with the PNG link) - mrfreeziexp, on 10/12/2007, -4/+44Where's Google? I guess google is the entire planet..
- leetdood, on 10/12/2007, -5/+424chan is way too small.
- counterstriker, on 10/12/2007, -5/+38wow the mapmaker really missed something there should be a whole nother continent that is devoted exclusivley to porn!
- zeldafan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+30@mrfreeziexp (#6469154)
Google is a secret subway system that runs underneath the entire planet. Everyone uses it to get around, but few know how it truly works. - YourTechSupport, on 10/12/2007, -0/+29The Pr0nosphere starts approximately 1.5mbps above the surface.
- DisposableRob, on 10/12/2007, -0/+28Heh, I nearly missed Slashdot, next to Soviet Russia.
- DisposableRob, on 10/12/2007, -2/+30See that little island named 4chan?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+28however, the first rule of Usenet is that you do not talk about Usenet...
- aarongough, on 10/12/2007, -0/+26@iet2004: anything is welcome after the 'key' debacle!
- DeadlyBrad42, on 10/12/2007, -1/+26Dugg because it's xkcd
- bmcnally, on 10/12/2007, -0/+23XKCD rules.
"And over there we have the labyrinth guards. One always lies, one always tells the truth, and one stabs people who ask tricky questions". - iet2004, on 10/12/2007, -4/+27In Soviety Russia, slashdot misses you.
I'm so so so so so sorry to have posted that. I know we're tired of the joke, but dammit it was just so easy... - mzwaterski, on 10/12/2007, -2/+25Don't forget that the online world is a sphere. The Sea of Memes and the Blogipeligo are actually quite close when you wrap the map around.
- Aliarse, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22My new wallpaper.
If anyone else wants it, I've uploaded it for you. (1440x900)

I liked the "your base" one the best. - IHaveIssues, on 10/12/2007, -3/+25So Something Awful is slightly below Digg (ie. more intellectual)? LOL!
- IanWhalen, on 10/12/2007, -1/+20The far north island of Qwghlm is a nice touch too.
- donkz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18Noob Sea surrounded by MySpace, AOL, and MMORPGs -- very accurate.
- mcnappy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+19"I'm waiting for the day when, if you tell someone 'I'm from the internet', instead of laughing they just ask 'oh, what part?'"
- davean, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16Firefox not showing alt tags properly is a 7 year old bug, and the mozilla folk are nasty about people even wanting to fix it.
- profOblivion, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17^^ Nah, just Digg is slightly more practical. :)
- knocknock, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18I wish firefox showed alt tags like IE does :( FF cuts them off if their too long.
- frequenicity, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17Yep. Just remember that the location of the underwater Isle of Usenet may have been approximated...
- drev, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17This is brilliant.
I love the tiny little peninsula, "Attractive Myspace Pages" - grungemusic3001, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17Where is The Pirate's Bay???
- Si1van, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17You look at it and think "oh hey, a Tolkien-style map of the web - that's funny". Then you look closer, and you realise that this is insanely accurate. The compass-shaped island is what threw me.
- ogryn, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16Did you not notices "Google's Volcano Fortress" right down the bottom? ;)
- ateoto, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14Somehow I wouldn't be surprised if there were a good number of people that did believe that, but considering most people on Digg are nerds.... I'm guessing that they know the difference between a fake map and a real one. In fact they probably can discern that almost as quickly as discerning that you're a pompous *****. See what I did there, see how I criticized you instead of your whole entire country? You should try it sometime, it might make you look like less of a giant flaming douche hat.

What's the first rule of Usenet??
Heh, anyhoo folks, no such thing as Usenet, that's why it's a dotted line, it's no longer there, it never really was, just an old collection of .edu servers, please move along, nothing to see here...
*angry eye at darkstar, minus one digg*
Edit: pants428, you beat me to it... - MrUnderbridge, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14Google is the map.
- revolvingcur, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12Dunno why you're not getting dugg up. Seems like a Stephenson reference would be appreciated among this set.
- Pr0v0st, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12Odd. I'd consider Wikipedia to be one of the most practical sites on the internet.
- FyreGoddess, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13I'm pretty sure that the Blogipeligo is a bit closer to the Sea of Memes. There are quite a few bloggers who seem to swim in it daily...
- superdupergc, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11oh man, it's got qwghlm (from neal stephenson's baroque cycle) and the lonely island (from the guys that make saturday night live funny now) and i love how YTMND is called SPAAARTA (ytmnd). this map is beautiful.
- darkstar949, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12The /b/tards need more representation!
- OsiVert, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10@counterstriker
I would say porn is more like the ocean. It basically surrounds everything and is fun to go swimming in. - MrUnderbridge, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8"I could see why the pirates wouldn't, since they don't have a central community, but YouTube?"
Uhhh...YouTube's on the map there, Magellan. - qcfb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Don't forget Richard Stallman's Airship
- BaconSquid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Alt fix Firefox extension: http://home.etu.unige.ch/~robin0/LongTitles_en.html
- imeddy, on 10/12/2007, -4/+11Where is the Ocean of Pr0n?
