re-light my fire!

wow. other than africa and china and eastern europe,
the world is wonderfully socially connected!

off bbc.com, a facebook intern realized that this map
could be generated based on the data held by
the social networking firm on its 500 million users!

it's the result of his attempts to visualize
where people live relative to their facebook friends.
each line connects cities with pairs of friends.
the brighter the line, the more friends between those cities

just look at how bright malaysia is. hahaha!
