Just use the map of course!

This is the work of a web consultancy, Information Architects Japan, who have developed it as a web trends map, based on the Tokyo Underground. There’s a few in-jokes on there, for those of you who may know Tokyo such as:

Google has moved from Shibuya, a humming place for young people, to Shinjuku, a suspicious, messy, Yakuza-controlled, but still a pretty cool place to hang out (Golden Gaya).

Youtube has conquered Shibuya.

Yahoo is in Ueno, a nice place but nothing going on there.

Excellent work, and if you visit the site, you can even download a copy to use as your desktop wallpaper. Alternatively you could just print it out and keep it next to your PC in case you get lost…
