I Martin Vargic have created this and personally hold copyright for this image and have full rights to use it in this manner. Inspired by design of historical maps the Map of the Internet project aims to concisely but still comprehensively visualize the current state of the World Wide Web and document the largest and most popular websites over the period of 2020-2021.Compared to any previous iteration of the Map of the Internet this new version is many times more detailed and informative. It includes several thousand of some of the most popular websites represented as distinct "countries" which are grouped together with others of similar type or category forming dozens of distinct regions and continents that stretch throughout the map such as "news sites" "search engines" "social networks" "e-commerce" "adult entertainment" and so much more.Color schemes of websites are based on the dominant colors of their user interface or logo. To add further detail and provide deeper insight many features and services provided by these websites their sections and content categories as well as distinct content creators are labeled as cities and towns (which number at well over 10 thousand). Website founders and CEOs are represented as capital cities while hundreds of the most popular users of social networks and celebrities can be found as well. Mountains hills seas and valleys represent a wide variety of aspects of the internet its culture and computer science overall while almost a hundred of some of the most important internet and computing pioneers are also featured on the map in the names of underwater ridges.Surrounding the main map the graphic also includes a large amount of supplemental information including a ranking of the most popular websites largest internet-related companies list of major sites blocked in China or best-selling video games of all time as well as several smaller maps of the real world on internet-related topics such as the share of population using the internet cost and speed of broadband levels of internet censorship and the most popular social network by country. myMostlyEverything
