Web Trend Map
The Information Architects from Japan have put together a very nice visualization map of the 300 most influential websites. To create the mashup, IA took the sites and pinned them down to the Tokyo area train map. I had been playing with version 2.0 for a little while, and they already have the new, updated 3.0 version. The key change on V3 is that they featured the most influential websites - regardless of category.
Check out the clickable on-line version with live links to each site.
Version 2 was a layout of sites based on category.
All the V2 details are on the IA site.
