The Icons of the Web sized by Traffic

by Khalid Hosein on August 26, 2010

Security company Nmap, decided to toy with one of their scripts which pulls back favicons from websites and turn it into a map of all the icons it found in the top million. Surprisingly, only about 328k were found. What was more interesting was how they arrange it into a huge image with the size of each site’s icon drawn proportional to its traffic.
