Interesting site maps

[Lau]

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.

This is MacRumors.com:

and this is my little site:

Here's the link to try yourselves.

Edit: and here's the explanatory post on the authors blog.

Ooh, purdy... hehe, forget any other use for that diagram. I just wanna space out and stare at it.

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

Aww, that's so cool. My blog looks like this:

Oooh so pretty!

apple.com has a huge dandelion at the top...

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.

That's why I come to MacRumors. It's for the pretty site maps.

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?

I always thought MR was beautiful!

That really is an amazing applet!

This 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.

Just because they're dense?

That's nice, but note the particular "flower-themed" one I was thinking of. No matter.

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.

 

[mad jew]

Who can blame them.

 

[paleck]

I was pleasantly surprised by how much that it found on my site

 

[Shamus]

Wow! That is neato!

I wonder what site would have the biggest map...?
