The 300,000 Biggest Websites, Visualized With Their Icons

The 300,000 Biggest Websites, Visualized With Their Icons | Best | Scoop.it

How do the 288,945 most heavily trafficked sites on the internet stack up against each other? Take a very close look at this chart to find out.

While you could spend all day with a microscope trying to sort out the layers lurking behind AOL and IMDb, the preferred browsing strategy is to check out Nmap'sinteractive version.

As for the method to the radness: The area of each icon is proportional to the sum of the reach of all sites using that icon. When both a bare domain name and its "www." counterpart used the same icon, only one of them was counted. The smallest icons—those corresponding to sites with approximately 0.0001% reach—are scaled to 16x16 pixels. The largest icon (Google) is 11,936 x 11,936 pixels, and the whole diagram is 37,440 x 37,440.
