A website developer has created an innovative map \u00a0showing off the\u00a0biggest\u00a0websites from around the world, with each one being represented by a star. And urban75 is twinkling in the heavens!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ruslan Enikeev gathered website data from 196 countries and mapped the sites out on a ‘star map,’ with the popularity of sites being reflected by their size.<\/p>\n

Star groups and are clustered together by nationality and topic, with each nation designated a shade of colour (e.g. UK is light blue, Russia red, China yellow, Japan purple, America turquoise etc).<\/p>\n

Dominating the night sky are global big\u00a0hitters\u00a0like Google, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Yahoo.<\/p>\n

To save you having to boldly go where no one has gone before, there’s a handy search bar for looking up\u00a0specific websites, but please note that you’ll need to add the\u00a0appropriate ‘.com’, ‘.co.uk,’ ‘.org’ etc suffix to find individual sites.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You can also search by country – typing in ‘United Kingdom’ produces a map totally dominated by Google.co.uk.<\/p>\n

Three stars<\/strong><\/p>\n

Naturally, I had to see if urban75 was included in the list of top sites, and was chuffed to find that we appear no less than three<\/em> times, for the urban75.org<\/a>, urban75.com<\/a> and urban75.net<\/a> sites.<\/p>\n

The Internet Map project is a non-profit endeavour, and the developer Enikeev is asking for donations to keep the site up and running: check out the site here –\u00a0\u00a0http:\/\/internet-map.net\/<\/a>\u00a0– and lob a few\u00a0pennies\u00a0his way if you like what you see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
