Series of Tubes as a Tube-map

This huge graphic seeks to map the Internet onto a map of the London Underground Tokyo rail system (the series of Tubes as a tube-map). There's a lot of dense info here and I'm not sure I agree with all of the implied relationships, but it's some interesting stuff. Link (Thanks, James!)

Update: Thanks to everyone who noted that this is the Tokyo rail map, not the London Underground

Well, it looks like that language is a significant constraint in this map. Most sites are based on English language, apart the Chinese sector. This could be misleading. The real parameter should NOT the absolute relevance of site, but the RELEVANCE relative to the people speaking a specific language. An English site with 1,000,000 visitors per day could be less relevant than an Armenian or a Danish site with only 50,000 visitors per week. So the resulting map would be VERY DIFFERENT. I honestly do NOT like the approach used for this map. It is giving more and more visibility to sites whose relevance is sustained by the fact that there is a significant amount of people in world reading English. That approach does NOT give me any info about the REAL value of site content and the success of site for people who can read the used language.
