Mapping The CyberWorld

Last month, I told you all about a really cool video called Warriors of the Net. If you enjoyed that, or if you just like to find new ways of looking at things, you might want to check out An Atlas of Cyberspaces.

Although the Cybergeography Research site is no longer being updated, it’s still full of interesting depictions of the internet. Maybe it’s because I love maps in general, but even though most of the maps are outdated, I still find them fascinating. I really like the Topology maps and the maps depicting the relationships of web sites. I’d love to find a place with all of these charts and maps updated so I could compare the internet from several years ago to the internet today. The Internet Industry map doesn’t even mention google! And speaking of historical perspective, these computer network maps are definitely worth a look!

I’ve never spent so much time looking around a site that was outdated before, and I still haven’t explored every page there. The author of the site, Martin Dodge, currently writes a blog that he does keep updated. The Cyber Badger Research Blog is worth a look as well. I just hope he keeps his Cybergeography site running for as long as possible. I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of visiting it!

If you visit the Atlas of Cyberspaces, let me know what you think. And if you find something really interesting there, stop back here and let me know. Like I said, I haven’t explored everything there so I’ll be waiting to hear about the things you found there.
