A (Weird) New World? June 12, 2007
Posted by ianmartinez in : Trends, What's New?, Networking , trackbackThe social networking thing is much more Geoff’s bailiwick, and this isn’t a straight ICT issue, but something caught my eye today over at Strange Maps blog.
Check out the bizarre, delightful World Map of Online Communities:
I find it especially cool that we’re beginning to see a sense of the “geography” aspect of social networking, whether through corporate and political colonization of those spaces or through more direct conceptualizing like this.
I haven’t been the only one to compare this era to an earlier time in world exploration. Now it seems the metaphor is taking on a whole new dimension.
Update: it looks like this map really could catch on. Is this the new Encarta?
