Takadanobaba = YouTube!!!

Ok--this is really fucking cool. Basically this research firm evaluates the most trafficked domains on the internet and, to put it in perspective, maps the results onto the Tokyo subway system!

Mapping information metaphorically onto a totally different, familiar system like this seems to me like a very legit way to represent information in a way that humans can easily digest. It'd be great to see this method used more often.

You can see a good image of the map here.
