Using data from Alexa, nmap.org created a large diagram with the icons from the most popular websites:

The smallest image is 16 x 16 pixels, representing a site with 0.0001% of web traffic. FreeRepublic.com's icon is 104 x 104 pixels:

http://nmap.org/favicon/?q=freerepublic.com

The largest icon is Google, at 11,936 x 11,936 pixels. It's just below FreeRepublic's icon. The entire diagram is 37,440 x 37,440 pixels.

Cool, my site is 56x56.

DU is not found.. lol.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, every domain that I could see that is not obvious (Bing or Google or the like) was for a porn site.

Human nature, I guess.

Thanks. It already has one but the lookup shows Bloggers' instead.

Interesting the church website showed up.

[sionnsar]

Ah! There must be a link I missed.

Go read the article.

Go read the article.

I did:

The largest icon (Google) is 11,936 x 11,936 pixels, and the whole diagram is 37,440 x 37,440. Since your web browser would choke on that,

Not to mention your screen could not display the mentioned resolution.

There is a sample bias here- not everyone is tracked by Alexis

[Patton@Bastogne]

Just to the right of the SKY (black and white) icon ...

Now how do you recognize those particular icons?

I must obviously not “get out enough” - haha.

[TheThirdRuffian]

I didn’t know what they were; that was the point of my post.

I typed them in Bing to see what they were.

It’s shocking.
