This is fascinating.

Information Architects Inc. ^[1] (iA) has released its fourth annual Web Trend Map ^[2], which maps the 333 leading Web domains and the 111 most influential Internet people onto the Tokyo Metro map.

According to iA’s description ^[3]:

• Each domain is evaluated based on traffic, revenue, age and the company that owns it.
• A station’s height represents its domain’s success. “Success” refers not only to traffic, but also revenue and trend.
• A station’s width represents the stability of the company behind its domain. However, not every large corporation has a large building.
• Unless its domain has proven itself as a significant online component, its station remains thin.
• A station’s location on a metro line indicates the group it belongs to.
• A station‘s position on the map—whether inside the main line, on the main line, or outside the main line—indicates whether it is a part of the tech establishment, a traffic hub, or an online suburb.
