On the SNS continent, Reddit is larger than Instagram and Twitter. In each country, the concept that symbolizes each service is written as a landmark, and in Reddit country,

you can see Mt. Meme and Mt. MOD (moderator). In addition, the popular content inside the service is treated as a municipality, and there were Not The Onion City, which seems to be a lie but gathered real news, and Animals Being Jerks City, which gathered only animals that bother others. ..

The news continent is in a state where it can be said that it is a group of males, and in the center of the continent, major news organizations such as CNN, BBC, NY Times (The New York Times), NHK, etc. On the upper right is an IT island where IT news sites such as The Verge and Vice are attached to game news sites such as IGN and GameSpot, and above that there are weather islands and sports where weather news is gathered. There was a sports island and so on.

Browsers such as Chrome, Edge, and Opera are arranged in a circle along the equator, and communication companies such as AT & T and Cloudfront are grouped in the center.

University-related islands such as Harvard and MIT and Wikipedia islands float between the preset sea on the Arctic side and the protocol ocean. Wikipedia is overwhelmingly dominated by Wikipedia, but

Wiki- style services such as Your Know meme and Gamepedia also existed as small countries.

HALCYON MAPS said, 'The popularity of sites has changed over the years, and old sites may be shut down and replaced by new ones. This map is a visual form of the' former Internet '. It is something that will be passed down to posterity. '
