Web Trend Map 4.0 based on Tokyo Metro
Posted by Manuela Barreto @ April 8th, 2009 in Cool Stuff
In a digital society like ours such wonderful work can definitely be considered a masterpiece of the digital world.
Information Architects have done it again. They’ve launched the fourth version of their Web Trends map series in beta, displaying all the most prominent companies, products and trends of the Internet.
The Web Trend Map is a yearly publication by iA Inc. It maps the 333 most influential Web domains and the 111 most influential internet people onto the Tokyo Metro map. Domains are carefully selected by the iA research team through dialogue with map enthusiasts. Each domain is evaluated based on traffic, revenue, age and the company that owns it. The iA design team assigns these selected domains to individual stations on the Tokyo Metro map in ways that complement the characters of each.
It presents every single tie and inter-relationship between businesses, sites, software, social media, etc of our current digital world. The domain’s height represents its success according to amount of traffic and revenue while the domain’s width is directly linked to the stability of the mother company.
Enjoy this great piece of work! For a larger view of it, click on this Flickr image.
One small observation for the guys at IA, the black background, not very eco-friendly…white backgrounds are always best, wouldn’t you think?
