Web Trends Map
Posted by Luke Humble
Information Architects Japan have now released the 3rd version of the Web Trends Map.
It is always interesting to see people try to map out the web for different purposes such as the search engine relationship chart or the not so visually appealing search engine results chart. But Inforation Architects Japan have really done a great job with their third instalment of the Web Trend Map. The two previous web trend maps were based upon the Tokyo train map with 200 popular websites, the latest version has now seen a huge increase in websites to display 300. To make this easier to read they have organised the train lines with less overlapping, making it easier to read as a whole.
You can view the Web Trends Map here.
You can also submit suggestions for site inclusions using their anonymous feedback form.
Web 2.0 Online Speed Dating
Posted by Luke Humble
I recently came across a revolutionary online speed dating service which uses the Web 2.0 platform and combines it with the typical speed dating service that people go to in their local cities. I submitted this spotting to Springwise, a company that reports on new services and trends in the modern world. Springwise have written an article on my spotting:
“Until recently there has been online dating—traditionally a matter of photos and profiles—and speed dating, which took the offline dating world by storm. The two were obviously a match made in heaven, though, because in the last few months several new sites have begun offering speed dating online.
WooMe, for example, which launched in November, is an online introduction platform that allows users to meet, see and hear people live in 1-minute conversations.”
