Thanks to Richard Watson for noticing this excellent new map from Tim O’Reilly via Ross Dawson.

I’ve seen a similar map before, concentrating on social networking. This new one however shows how different industries including payments, platforms and so on, all inter-relate.

Personally I’m not sure I would put payments & cashflow next to content (yet) – and I would put payments closer to the ‘Land of Identity’. I guess the issue here is that everything actually inter-relates to everything else anyway.

Either way, at least the map gets the thought process going.
