333 of the world’s largest domains & 111 of the most influential internet people
Apparently this is the fourth of these types of maps. It’s the first one that i’ve seen and I think it’s really cool, if only my screen could fit it all on at once!
IA Inc have been producing these visualisations of web trends for the last 4 years and mapping around their findings around Tokyo’s underground train network.
As mentioned above the map shows the 333 most influential domains which are based on their own research around traffic, revenue, age and the parent company. The domains are then mapped on different areas of the Toyko tube network matching place and domain vibes as much as possible. For instance a particulary vibrant and buzzy station may be the home of Twitter.
Different info about each domain is illustarted according to a number of different factors, according to it’s height, width and position on the map. Check the map legend for more detail.
The map also gives you an ‘at a glance’ view of the top 50 most successful domains and their associated people.
Well worth checking out, gotta love a good visual!
