Map the net...


When people are lost, they tend to get a map and to follow it. BUT, when you're on the net, you often question - IS THERE A MAP OF THIS THING? I bet you have even asked your ISP's help desk to get you one, but probably you heard just giggling from the other side of the phone. So what's the catch?

SO to tell you the truth - there are maps of internet. "ARE?" Yes - are. There are few types of maps but is you look a bit closer you will find that that are not of the same type we are used to read. Those maps are generated by computers by following domains and mapping them, and as you can expect these maps change in short time periods. There are few teams working on helping you not to get lost on the net like Lumenta research team, or The opte project So anyway if you still feel a bit lost you can use this map:

Interesting thing is that a map of Yugoslavian internet was also made during the war (bombing) in may 1999, and you can see the changes here. If you think that that disappearing of parts is sad, try thinking about users of that network (with internet working today but not tomorrow).

Are you 100% that you won't get lost now? :)
You know that I wouldn't bet my net on that...
