The Internet as a Subway Map

Via the friendly folks at Infrastructurist.com comes this fascinating representation of the Internet's most popular and influential websites, arranged in the form of the Tokyo metro system. Each web domain is represented here as one of the system's 333 stations. Apparently iA (Information Architects) publishes a version of this map each year. You can see it here in all its high-def glory (6740 x 4768), or in a more manageable size here. It's too cool for school. For the sake of comparison, here is the actual Tokyo subway map.

Somebody get StrangeMaps.com on the horn, stat! This is right up their alley.
