I was going to suggest this should be rendered as a Venn diagram... but it would just look like a bubble bath out of control. Nice work!

This was SPOT ON (until I noticed the Twilight/Pseudo-vampire cluster...so -5 pts on the cool scale)
Amazing otherwise :D

Ibo, this is brilliant. But i think we may need you to update this annually, ok? You can add to your specialities, Geek Anthropolgist!

I would enjoy this, except that all the 'geek idols' are men; women are relegated to 'geek obsessions'. Way to draw a sexist divide.

Dewey Decimal but no Library of Congress? This librarian geek approves.

This loses major geek-cred for misspelling Obi-Wan Kenobi. :-)

Ummm, the groupings are kinda wack: Mac & PC are on the opposite side from Computer Geek and color-coded for Academics, not Technology; and Joss Whedon's projects aren't branching from his actual name...
Guess I'll have to break out some of that nifty concept mapping freeware and make my own version!

Brilliant. Love it. I'll even forgive you for the omission of bike geeks. :-)

A link to the designer of the map http://www.juliannabrion.com/2009/12/geek-map.html plus credits would've been nice...

Pretty funny man, got us almost spot on, except you forgot a few of our types like a standard music geek (non-band), and english geek. Few Misspellings here and there and a few of your postings are questionable but over all not bad. Would recommend as said before a Venn diagram to gather the thoughts and ideas together.

You should figure out a way to divide stuff up into 3 or 4 categories (rather than the 6 you have now), and then label them with Red Green and Blue, or Cyan Magenta Yellow and Black. Then bubbles that fit more than one category could have interesting compound colors and shades made up of combinations of these colors.

Yeah I have to agree... not all geeks are dudes. While history hasn't left women much room to become "geek idols" (til recently, anyway) is it fair to assume all "obsessions" are female? :/
