Information Architects Japan has come up with their second version of Web site trends. It is a really cool “map” of the current Internet environment.

The 200 most successful websites on the web, ordered by category, proximity, success, popularity and perspective.

They have several versions that can be viewed, but the best one is their clickable online version that will show screen shots of the Web sites when you mouseover them. It is really cool to see how everything is related, and that it truly is a Web. Nothing stands alone, not even Google. There inclusion of Japanese and Chinese sites is also a great idea. I think we forget that the U.S. does not own the Internet. As you will see there are some very cool, profitable non-American Web sites out there.
They say they have used the map to help clients get a perspective of where they sit within the current environment. Good idea.

I have launched a new blog about landscaping and gardening, one of my favorite past times. I have been gardening for years, and hope to use this blog to pass on my experience, advice and interesting stories and articles about landscape and gardening.
