It sort of does. The sine wave going across it represents the time. The lighter area is daytime and the darker is nighttime.

BTW it is spelled 'sync' not 'sink'. Heh.

Neither is the very dark North Korea. Europe seems to be the busiest on the interwebz, but I bet the vast majority are viewing lolcats instead of working.

I like how there is one dot right in the middle of the Greenland ice sheet. Some poor soul out in the middle of nowhere typing away.

That poor soul out in the middle of nowhere is prolly viewing porn.

Wow, Indonesia is busier than Russia. It'll be interesting to see what this map looks like in 10 years time.

internet in greenland? i didn't even know there where people in greenland.
i thought it was just a big block of ice with no plants, no animals, no life of any sort.

edit - and if you look closely, you'll see a couple of dots in the middle of the sahara desert.
i didn't know people lived there either, let alone them having internet connection.
