The Internet Map

Very awesome, it's cool how each color is a different country and you can see where countries integrate with other countries and where they clump together on their own.

This is the Internet map a few months after I first got on from Harv-10 in 1972:

Brings back great memories of sitting by the Harvard IMP (router) late at night, and getting a call from BBN on the phone asking me (anyone) to reboot it manually...

A couple of these are very strange. Instagram is right beside yousendit as well as almost every Irish web property. Still an awesome visualization, but what is it visualizing?

Apparently it uses Google Maps for display, and I wonder, does GMaps API allow use of custom map data, or does it mean that this visualization is made by Google?
