When Facebook intern Paul Butler told people he was busy plotting the relationships between 500 million people to present them visually on a chart, most people looked at their watches, made their excuses and left the room.
However, the people who decided to stay were in for a real treat.
Paul decided to plot Facebook users by location using longitude and latitude then plotted 'interactions' between users.
The final results were stunning.
The final image is a stunningly beautiful map of global communications.
You can find out more about the project here or check out a large version of the image here as these smaller images don't really do it justice.
