Can You Find WordPress on the Map?
The internet is so vast, being made up of millions of websites and to most it would be seemingly impossible to put into perspective in a visual way. But Martin Vargic formerly known as The9988 on Deviantart.com took the challenge to create a visual representation of the internet upon himself. Martin decided to visualize what the internet would look like in the style of a world map. Martin states that this is only the first version of the the map because “an incredible amount of websites and software companies are not on the map.” The missing sites and companies will be added in later updates to the map.
