    (Click on the image for full size)

    It may be smaller than the likes of facebook and twitter, but by the gods it's there :D

    Look at the close up of the forums area in the bottom right corner, it can clearly be seen in the bottom left of that particular close up :D

    Was quite taken aback to see it on the map, not because i doubt it's size but because the comic was written by an American based author.

    Tis also a worth your while to look around the map, quite a few chuckles contained within :P

    Okay, for anyone who doesn't already read it, xkcd is a pretty good webcomic.
    Anyway, the author updated his map of online communities and lo and behold, our little corner made it on!

    Take a look down at the land of forums, bottom right hand corner.

    Makes no sense really. They have Skype outside the realms of "spoken language".

    Now I'm no expert, but....

    Skype can also be used for IM and video chat, not just voice alone.
