Facebook’s global connection visualized

Paul Butler is an intern in Facebook, and he (probably nothing to do) has put together an image by feeding in location data for pairs of friends connection. The white lights represent cities, towns, and hamlets, and the blue streaks between them identifies relationships linking them. It’s awesome that it actually managed to plot down the world’s map, almost accurately.
Obviously missing is China which blocks Facebook, and Russia which has the LiveJournal system. You can see how heavy Facebook’s traffic is at East of US, and UK. But surprisingly South East Asia also has a strong Facebook presence.
