Grand Theft: Annenberg. A Trip Through Internet History with @wwwtxt. As ethereal as the internet seems sometimes, it is also an amazing archive of words and language.
Tweets are stored with the Library of Congress (and perhaps other government agencies), entire web sites are slurped up into archive.org, and deleting your LinkedIn profile remains a mystery. We know these facts intuitively and while we often discuss the privacy implications of this reality, it’s also striking to see how that archival quality can come to life in new ways.

His first task is to disentangle our familiar, if not strictly accurate, conceptions about the internet from its actual cables, boxes and routers. One such notion is the idea that the internet finds a route around censorship. This is true of the metaphorical overlay - take down a website and it can pop up elsewhere in an instant. In reality, every bit of information sent between New York and London - every email, Facebook status update, financial transaction and bid on an eBay teapot - makes its way through the same thin 4300-kilometre-long garden hose that submerges in Long Island and surfaces in Penzance.

The map of the Internet Like any other map, The Internet map is a scheme displaying objects’ relative position; but unlike real maps (e.g. the map of the Earth) or virtual maps (e.g. the map of Mordor), the objects shown on it are not aligned on a surface.
Mathematically speaking, The Internet map is a bi-dimensional presentation of links between websites on the Internet. Every site is a circle on the map, and its size is determined by website traffic, the larger the amount of traffic, the bigger the circle. Users’ switching between websites forms links, and the stronger the link, the closer the websites tend to arrange themselves to each other. Charges and springs To draw an analogy from classical physics, one may say that websites are electrically charged bodies, while links between them are springs.
Also, an analogy can be drawn from quantum physics. The Internet map. PEER 1 Hosting Launches Map of the Internet App. Wednesday, March 6, 2013 - 04:00.
10 Awesome Twitter Analytics and Visualization Tools. Recently Twitter rolled out their native analytics platform for all users and now you can get some quality data about your tweets directly from Twitter.

It is transforming the way we interact with the world around us. Thanks to "big data", satellite navigation, GPS-enabled smartphones, social networking and 3D visualisation technology, maps are becoming almost unlimited in their functionality, and capable of incorporating real-time updates. "Advanced LED screen technology and smartphones equipped with projectors are going to transform the way we interact with maps," says Ian White, founder and chief executive of Urbanmapping.com, a San Francisco-based geoservices provider.

What does all this activity look like? The Internet in 1969. Warriors of the Net HD. Interactive map: how the brain sorts what we see. UC BERKELEY (US) — Scientists have found that the brain is wired to put the categories of objects and actions we see daily in order, and have created the first interactive map of how the brain organizes these groupings.
The result—achieved through computational models of brain imaging data collected while the subjects watched hours of movie clips—is what researchers call “a continuous semantic space.” Maps show how different categories of living and non-living objects that we see are related to one another in the brain’s “semantic space.” (Credit: Gallant lab) » Mapping the brain’s semantic space Rungy Chungy Cheese Bees. Stefan Greuter. Visualization is one of the most important communication and analysis tools available. It enables humans to process large amounts of data rapidly, to gain insights and to understand linkages and trends and to bring meaning out of complexity.
