Dear subscribers MAP-L,

With reference to the above, I take pleasure informing you as follows:

Paul Butler usually works as a grunt on the data infrastructure
engineering team at Facebook, which gives him access to Facebook's
mighty data warehouses. Which means his side projects take on a grand scale.

This one began with profile data from a scant 10 million people -- or
about 2% of Facebook's users. Butler first tabulated the number of
friends between each city, and what latitude and longitude each friend
was at. Then, he created a color code: The more connections between two
places, the lighter the line is; the fewer, the darker. What emerged, of
course, is a map of the world unlike any other.
