Interactive map of the Internet illustrated as a galaxy, with planet's size reflecting the number of hits each site has.

Placement, relative to other "planets" also indicates how frequently users jump from one site to the other. The stronger the link, the closer the proximity. Kinda cool really.

FWIW, here is Free Republic on this ever-changing internet star chart.

Cool

[Salamander]

My God!

It’s full of crap!

*ping*

[Old Sarge]

LOL - am I one of the few to get the reference?

[USFRIENDINVICTORIA]

This is an excellent graphic!

[Salamander]

Seems so...:)

Anyone else find it hilarious that the Chinese sites are all in yellow and the Ruskie sites all in red?

[eclecticEel]

Mildly surprised how well Iran is represented.

[Old Sarge]

the Chinese sites are all in yellow and the Ruskie sites all in red?

And all the Leftist sites are blue...

[arderkrag]

Really? FR is a blue dot.

[Old Sarge]

Maybe we’re a pale dwarf?

[arderkrag]

I was going with “All US sites are in blue since red is being used for the Russians”.

"LOL - am I one of the few to get the reference?"

No, but the rest of us are too polite to mock...

All these tubes and wires, and I can’t FIND anything!

I'm not 100% sure how this would work. What if lots of users go from site A to site B, but very few users go from site B to site A, for example?

[Old Sarge]

Thus Sprach Shibumi!

I found myself looking at myself!
