On techcrunch.com one of the bloggers posted an image of the "social networks" map, which revealed that Facebook dominates over other social media websites.

To visually see the connections on such a grand geological scale is astounding. Social networks really are a big thing. The map additionally reveals that Twitter and Linkedin are largely influential. It will be interesting to see if the popularity of sites like this sticks over a long span of time.
