My RSS feed showed an earlier Metatalk post by matt about it but has since been deleted. posted by vacapinta at 3:59 PM on May 10, 2007
Yeah, jessamyn was all "wtf, that's like four days old n00b!" so I deleted it but put it on the sidebar instead. posted by mathowie at 4:20 PM on May 10, 2007
So, why does metafilter look like South America?

Maybe some admin with nothing better to do would add a little link back to the thread and comment that spawned the whole map quest. posted by Dave Faris at 6:37 PM on May 10, 2007

Oh god a MetaTalk callout! :(
Oh, wait.
Thanks guys! :)
(For those who didn't follow the whole thread I posted the map in, we were discussing which island MeFi would be on xkcd's map of online communities. I just expanded the one we picked (in The Blogipeligo, north-west of Boing Boing) and drew in the details, so that's where the South-American-esque shape came from.) posted by EndsOfInvention at 2:30 AM on May 11, 2007 [1 favorite]
Yeah for artistic credit! (Ends - I hope you will update as the meta-world conquers new lands!) posted by typewriter at 8:34 AM on May 11, 2007

I guess I could zoom in and do a larger scale map with added injokes (suggestions welcome). Maybe if I have time at the weekend. posted by EndsOfInvention at 4:37 PM on May 11, 2007
