Nmap Developers Release a Picture of the Web
iago-vL writes "The Nmap Project recently posted an awesome visualization of the top million site icons (favicons) on the Web, sized by relative popularity of sites. This project used the Nmap Scripting Engine, which is capable of performing discovery, vulnerability detection, and anything else you can imagine with lightning speed. We saw last month how an Nmap developer downloaded 170 million Facebook names, and this month it's a million favicons; I wonder what they'll do next?"

Start a religion? I'm too honest, personally, but it's worked for others.
Some mornings it's hardly worth chewing through the restraints to get out of bed.
OTOH, sometimes it doesn't work out so well.

It seems that Yahoo and MSN are tied up (at least visually they're of the same size).
What I'm genuinely curious about is why is Microsoft website is so popular (the icon is as big as the one for Twitter)? I can understand MSN and Bing, but what are people doing browsing microsoft.com so much? I thought that maybe it's Hotmail, but no, it's got a different icon...
The amazon icon is so small, it's hard to find. You need to zoom in. From the facebook icon look to the lower left for the white s on an orange square. Below that is a small red HT. Right below that at the right is amazon, a black a with an orange curved arrow under it.
