    Question What is the map from tv show The IT Crowd?

    I've been rewatching UK comedy show The IT Crowd, if you've seen it their office is full of geek toys and Easter egg references to classic fantasy and scifi. I noticed this map on the back of the door - anyone know what it is? I'm guessing it's from a game but I don't know. It's bugging me

    EDIT: Deleted since the original is found. Nothing to see here

    I thought one label on the map looks a lot like it says "MYSPACE" so I thought it might be one of those "Maps of the internet".
    Google proved me right; it's from XKCD

    Wow thanks! Goodness that's very much of its era... Myspace? Orkut? Yahoo? Friendster?!

    What surprises me most is how small Facebook still is.

    He did an update in 2010. Facebook's just a teeny bit larger in this one!
