Well Bob it’s a distributed network so we wouldn’t be a giant connected component like Facebook or Google, although I believe over time all networks do tend towards centralisation a bit like Bitcoin with the ASICS, a form of centralisation by specialisation.

[quote]Every site is a circle on the map, and its size is determined by website traffic, the larger the amount of traffic, the bigger the circle. Users’ switching between websites forms links, and the stronger the link, the closer the websites tend to arrange themselves to each other.

The map of the Internet is a photo shot of the global network as of end of 2011 (however, baloons show actual statistics from Alexa). It encompasses over 350 thousand websites from 196 countries and all domain zones.[/quote]Since feathercoin.com is ranked 78,600+ on Alexa, with 180 sites linking in, it would be on the map, if the map were current, but since the data is from 2011 feathercoin didn’t exist then so it’s absent.
But if it was… I’m sure it would be in proximity to bitcointalk.org and the other crypto-currency related cluster.
