The top 300000 websites in the world
I came across an interesting item yesterday.
It is a graphic of the icons of the world’s top 300,000 websites. Considering that at the end of 2009 it was estimated that there were 234 million websites, then to be in the top 300,000 is quite something.
The graphic is a large one. I’m not going to post it here, as the copy I have is nearly 508Mb in size. You’ll have to make do with a reduced one –
What amazed me is that Head Rambles is in there. It took a bit of searching, but the Old Goat is in there, up in the top left hand corner.
There he is. Bang in the middle.
Not quite as big an icon as Google or YouTube.
But it’s a start.
My site is there too! My Wiki that is. Smack in the middle of this picture:

My favico is one of my dogs 🙂
Congratulations!!
Actually, I have just discovered that this site is in there as well. Haven’t found it yet, but what the hell.
Maybe it’s not such a big deal after all?
It’s a scan of the top 1 million sites according to Alexa. So if nothing else we are both in the top million!
Just found this site! Three quarters of the way across the bottom edge.
They discarded any site that didn’t have a Favicon, so that just leaves 300,000 (or 288,945, to be precise).
Still – there are 233,000,000 sites that didn’t make the cut?
Indeed. Still I have something to brag about over in the pub later 😉
Want me to email you the original file? 😉
Heh! 20MB max attachment size unfortunately 🙂
WTG
5h4mr0(k: It must be my age or something, but I had to look up WTG. Still not quite sure what it means! 😐
WTG = Way to go??
Aparently that’s what it is, but what exactly does that mean? Some of these modern idioms leave me a little confused. Should I be happy or insulted?
Neither methinks. I’m trying to figure out just where it is you are supposed to go.
And how far until I get there? As in ‘some way to go yet’?
Better off not knowing.
