Visualize web sites

Source: Aharef via Clicked

I'm really into maps and how we can use them to better understand and visualize our increasingly complex world. Here's an interesting map-graph app for visualizing the structure of websites. It swaps a website's HTML tags for color coded dots mapped to the directory structure. Enough words. Here's some maps.

Yahoo! - very portal-y

Google - simple. simple. simple.

BoingBoing - go there, link out

So many people are mapping sites like this and uploading them to Flickr, websitesasgraphs has become a hot tag.
