Map shows most popular websites

A map of the internet shows which websites are popular by the size of the coloured blob.

Can you make a map of the internet?

Someone already has, and you can see the colourful results at www.internet-map.net.

Every blob you see is a website - the larger the blob, the larger and more popular the site.

The biggest ones are the obvious ones, Facebook and Google and YouTube. But zoom in a bit closer (it works just like Google Maps) and you'll start to see lesser-known names there too.

Is your favourite site on the map? There's a search box to help you find out.
