The Internet map

Thank you very much Giraf87 for this link

The Internet map.

This multi-modal representation of the Internet got me thinking about Entry points and how people get to where they want to be on the Internet.This map shows the different sites visited on the internet. I was very surprised to see that although Google is ranked number 1 less than half of internet users visit this site 45.610 %

The map and the journey through the Internet provides and example of what Kress (2005) describes as the use of space and spatial arrangement to represent information and meaning in spatially organized representation, and said that “it is the viewer’s action that orders the simultaneously present elements in relation to her or his interest” Information is present and people come from various start points and get to the information or action they require through which ever method is most suitable to them.
