Top web sites plotted in a subway-style map

Web Trendmap
Information Architects has put together a remarkable map of the "top 200 mos successful websites" arranged by category, popularity, and other characteristics.

The map is available as a desktop background, a PDF file, a OSX screensaver, or as a clickable online map. Scroll your mouse over various sites to get a thumbnail preview, or click to go through to the source sites.

This is actually the second version of the map. The Web Trendmap 1.0 lacked a few of the features of the new map:
  • More websites have been added including some Japanese, German, and Chinese sites.
  • The lines have been renamed and streamlined for Sharing, Tools, Tech, etc.
  • A trend forecast has been added
  • Sites have been labeled Web 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5.
