I wanted to write a post, but I was sure I just missed it somewhere. It's not just me I guess.

My RSS feed showed an earlier Metatalk post by matt about it but has since been deleted.

Yeah, jessamyn was all "wtf, that's like four days old n00b!" so I deleted it but put it on the sidebar instead.

So, why does metafilter look like South America?

Or is it a chicken wing?

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.

"So, why does metafilter look like South America?"

Mefi's pretty near a leftist anarchy?

""So, why does metafilter look like South America?""

No, it's because most of us bulge in the middle.

The meme is infinitely extendable. Good work! I am already naming rivers and hollows and peninsulas.

Verily, I have pestered He Who Runs The Place until the sidebar has run yellow with updates.

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.)

Yeah for artistic credit! (Ends - I hope you will update as the meta-world conquers new lands!)

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.
