A Favicon Graph Of The Top 1 Million Sites on The Web Posted: 27 Aug 2010 05:27 AM PDT If the title sounds confusing, here is what the guys from Nmap.org did: they scanned the top 1 million sites on the web, according to Alexa, retrieved the favicon of each one, and created a graph where the size of each favicon is proportional to the traffic of the website. You can see the result on a post they call Icons of the Web. You can zoom in and out, and it is pretty fun to keep looking around and identifying the favicon of websites you know. In fact if you have an Alexa rank below 1,000,000 you should be able to find your favicon there too. I spent some 10 minutes looking for mine. In vain. Then I decided to cheat and use the search function, and bingo: As you can see the DBT favicon has the same size of the Internet Explorer homepage one. How do you like that Microsoft! Finally, hat tips to @johnchow, as I came across this site on his Twitter stream. Original Post: A Favicon Graph Of The Top 1 Million Sites on The Web
