Please note that Second Life has been banished to its own island, although all gamers are rather geographically isolated from the Bay of Angst. Thank God.

A: The algorithm killed Jeeves.
Q: But why would the algorithm do that?

Lol thats awesome. Only thing I wonder about….Google is really that small??
Funny, I just blogged about this map myself. It is pretty cool but I really would have thought WoW was *not* bigger than Flickr!
Gamers are isolated from the bay of angst? What? Then what’s all that damn complaining I keep seeing in games that makes me constantly leave certain channels because I develop an overwhelming urge to strangle the next person who complains about some minor game issue as though it’s worse than world war 3?
Scary, simply scary. MySpace is a monstrosity.
The thing the map fails to take into account is that some people “inhabit” these islands concurrently. For example, a Lineage II player who hangs out on IRC, contributes to YouTube, has a Flickr and a Facebook account, and dabbles in DeviantArt.
The day that someone shows that connection between and across networks… well, that’s the day privacy died. So I hope it never happens. 😉
