Looks cool, except that looks nothing like the New York City subway. It looks more like the London Tube system.

eh270, I was just about to make the same comment. Most tube maps are copies of the London one anyway.

err guys, its a heavily modified tokyo tube map: (origional+pdf alert)
www.tokyometro.jp/rosen/rosenzu/pdf/rosen_eng .pdf

although Rooneys right about all tube maps being based on Harry Becks 1933 design classic:

"Harry Beck's format was an innovation that would become essential for the comprehensibility of complex networks of today's transport systems all over the world. The commercial value to London Transport and the rest of the world is immeasurable; for this he was paid 10 guineas, probably about two weeks wages in those days."

Cool indeed (!) but it is the Tokyo Metro.
Instead of assumptions, one must have a look at this beautiful "Web Trend Map 2007" creators' excellent site:
www.informationarchitects.jp
And in particular
www.informationarchitects.jp/ia-trendmap-2007 v2


Pls see this quote:
"More Lines
The original raster (Tokyo metro map) has been substantially modified to fit the needs of an Internet Trend map. "

You may also view the metro map at:

OR
have a quick view at the lower right part of the map:

yeah it s Tokyo, but what is funny is that neighborhood have a nam that corresponds to what is at this location. For example Ebay is Akihabara, whith huge commerce on electronics, video, pop culture... Google is Shunjuku, the most imoprtant eceonomic center of the city, and of course flickr is Ueno the cultural location of Tokyo, ;)
