This is an image from a comic called XKCD. IT shows a map of the online communities. It's pretty interesting. Look at it, and post where you were "born" on that map, and where you currently "live".

I was born on the country Runescape by the sea of noobs. I currently live on the island of digg by the Ocean of Subculture

Just so you know this was made in Spring of 2007. So their s a few changes that proably should be noticed.
1: Facebook has expanded greeatly taking areas from Xanga, LJ, Orkut, and Pizco. They are currently involved in a war with Myspace. Facebook is currently winning.

Old news is old.

I don't see the point as the escapist isn't there.

Edit: you will have to click on the link, the image itself doesn't fit on the screen.

"Here be anthorpomorphic dragons" oh that is rich. So is the Soviet Russia bit.

I prefer living in my own world XD

I expected facebook to be WAY bigger.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

I can't find GameFAQs on that map...So I'm going with the Sea of Memes.

 

[Nova Tendril]

I was born in the desolate wasteland of Runescape.

I now live at the bottom of the Gulf of Youtube.

I would say the Isle of Escapism is located somewhere in the Southern Ocean of Subculture, and that is where I now reside!

Although I was definitely "born" somewhere around the Noob Sea...

Take away the Internet names (how can some be so big and I've yet to hear about them? I've been online since late 90s...?) and this would stand alone as a pretty cool map.

Of course I'm well on my way to being an ARC-GIS guy, so you'll forgive the cartographical nerdgasm.

Born in Runescape, moved to WoW and finally I now live on a boat in the middle of the sea of memes.

 

[corporate_gamer]

its seem the twitter tidalwave hasn't struck in that Map. I'd get on that if i was you.

But yeah pretty cool idea.

 

[CoverYourHead]

I was born somewhere around Newgrounds and landed in the cold, harsh lands of WoW.

I expected facebook to be WAY bigger.

It's almost 2 years old, back then myspace was way bigger than facebook.

Come to think of it I played Starcraft before Runescape so I probably washed up on the shores of Blizzard.

I can tell you where XKCD is: rapidly sinking into the Whirlpool of Staleness within the Sea of Memes.

Can't see if it's there or not, but I was "born" on the imdb. Currently, I travel to and fro, mainly around imdb, gaiaonline, escapistmagazine, playlist, youtube, tektek and wikipedia.

 

[Istickell]

4chan island should be WAY bigger. I live on 4chan island and make Frequent trips from 4chan through the viral straights up to the sea of youtube to myspace and stay in my beach house for a while...

 

[bodyklok]

I think I'll own a mansion in the wikipedia projects or somewhere around their, and I'll have a luxury yachut that I'll use to sail to sea of memes. Maybe I'll become a pirate?
