Interactive Map: Internet Growth 1998-2008
March 10, 2010 00:50
An interactive map from the BBC allows users to visualize network usage around the world for ten years beginning in 1998. Cursor over any country to see users online for that year. At the bottom of the map is a slider to change the year.
A second tab (at the top of the page titled, "Web Workings") provides 14 slides about how the WWW works, and a cool real-time counter that shows several Internet stats including:
+ Internet users in the world
+ E-mail messages sent today
+ Blog posts today
+ Google searches today
At the bottom of the page you'll learn about how the estimates are made.
Statistics provided by the International Telecommunication Union and Realtimestatistics.org
