Found an interesting site that lets you map any website by type of tags used. I thought it was interesting, but then I'm a bit of a stickler for information design. :o

This is MacRumors.com:

and this is my little site:

Here's the link to try yourselves. (http://www.aharef.info/static/htmlgraph/)

Edit: and here's the explanatory post on the authors blog (http://www.aharef.info/).

I know! Try putting a site into the link - it slowly branches out and is most pleasing. :)

so how exactly does it work? does it graph base on the name? the traffic or what... Awwww, it's like watching some sort of microorganism under a microscope, the way it "floats" around like in a petridisk

Sorry, I can't find the page that explains it for some reason, but it maps the different tags i.e. IMG, etc on each site. I'll try and find the page.

edit: it's about the 3rd post down on his blog (http://www.aharef.info/).

I half-remember a similar thread about a tool that draws flowers based on what a webpage looks like. Does anybody remember the details or can anybody find that thread?

This (http://research.lumeta.com/ches/map/index.html) sort of stuff? I love all that sort of thing. :)

The forums themselves are just as pretty.

My guess is the big blue cluster is representative of mad jew's posts. :p

Here are cnet.com and en.wikipedia.org:

Now that you mention it...

I was thinking more along the lines of your posts being so unique that the rest of the forum has done the *walks away slowly* thing. :p ;)
