That's a lot of fun to explore. I'm not entirely convinced by the "you can judge a book by its cover" thing, there are so many "Hi, I'm _____" pages that might have content or might just be portfolio stubs.
Yeah those clusters are interesting. They stand out, so they are the first thing I zoomed in on, then I realized they're all just stock resume sites. Quickly realize the clusters are something to avoid. Turns out to be an effective visualization method.
I started by finding my own blog and scrolling north, south, east, and west to see my neighbours. I’ve already found several interesting sites and a new person to follow on mastodon.
It’s a shame there doesn’t seem to be any way to link to a particular position on the map but great stuff nevertheless.
I’m curious how the choice of which blog is located next to which was made. The writeup mentions “dimensionality”. I found my blog, and the eight surrounding it are interesting people, but every one of them is an AI researcher with degrees from Berkeley or similar, and the sites are predominantly CVs.
Luminous company but not my level, nor is my blog about AI, nor is it a CV. I can’t see any reason for the location.

I'm also a bit curious, since most web pages are predominantly white, how many of them are adapted to dark mode?
Some of them are due to many people using the same theme.
Some of them are expired or parked domains, which I reckon should be detected and excluded.

I’m one of the makers of OneMillionScreenshots.com and I’m currently working on an update to it.
this is one of the coolest blogs i have ever read!
My forum isn't, though. With a post every day or so and nearly 50 active users, it's probably not "small web" any more :-D

Recently went back [0] to the open web and feel like this inclusion alone justified that move.
Thanks for sharing. Humble and heart-warming way to end 2025 for an old Internet man.

My website [1] gets perhaps as many as 200 visitors a week according to Cloudflare. And it's still there at number 399322 (first half of the pack).
