Web trend map

July 24th, 2007 by some dude

Some group called Information Architects created a map of this year’s web trends. Pretty neat.

…waaaait a minute. It looks eerily familiar. “You” looks like … the emperor’s palace? Really? It’s the Tokyo Subway map! Let’s see, we lived between Adbrite on the Design line and Netvibes on the Social News, just a stop from Apple (with the added grey extension) and Wordpress. My brother and sister hung out at YouTube all the time. Aya, where do you live now?

Oh, no wonder—the creators are Japanese.

    Haha!! I live in StumbleUpon on the Social Network line right by “You” but still frequent YouTube and Adbrite. And my school is between Hi5 and Myspace. How fitting. I don’t think you can fully appreciate this unless you’ve lived in Tokyo. I am highly amused. :)

    other map based on the websites world classification carried out by Alexa and ComScore. The websites traffic is correlated with the surface of the countries:
