If you
have been having trouble finding sites on the internet then your troubles might
have just come to an end for someone just came up with an internet map. If you have
got real stuff to do though, the internet map might be one cool time waster to
you which can as well turn you into a mindless page surfer for as long as you
live.
The
internet map consists of the most popular 350,000 websites from all areas
around the world that have been categorized based on the country they are from
as well as the genre they fall in. If the popularity of a site is very high
then its dot on the internet map will be larger. Some of the sites that have
the largest dots on the internet map include the heavy weights like Google,
Facebook and Yahoo. You can as well just have fun exploring the smaller dots
when you are on the internet map. Some of those sites with smaller dots are
interesting too. Another thing you can do is search for a unique website and
then locate its virtual neighborhood so that you can have access to other sites
close to it.
The algorithm
used by the internet map to determine where each site should be placed is
pretty complex. It was created by a Russian guy called Ruslan Enikeev who was
came up with it as a non-commercial labor of love. You can visit the map and
have a look at it. It looks pretty cool!
