GoogleBrowser - Internet map in the form of a graph
Now on the Internet you can see the "map of the Web", it is created live on the basis of information about "similar sites", which gives Google . It is enough to specify any URL - and an infinite web of knots, links and weaves appears on the screen.
User-specified URL is the starting point for building a map. The algorithm works simply: a request is sent to Google search for information on the most similar sites. Then - about the sites most similar to these sites, and so on. If relationships between sites at the second, third, or subsequent stages are found, they also interconnect. Thus, an extensive Internet map is created. At least, a map of that site of the Network in which there is a specified site.
The Internet map can be represented as a graph, where web pages are displayed as points, and hyperlinks - as lines. This model, by the way, is used by Google for ranking web pages. With the help of such a map you can find "similar" sites - they will be located on the graph not far from each other. The reverse principle is used in GoogleBrowser - a graph is constructed on the basis of information about nearby sites.
')
On this map, each "node" is annotated. If you hold the mouse cursor over it, an information window will appear. Double-clicking a site sends a request to Google to receive information about the ten URLs that most closely resemble this site.
With this tool you can discover interesting information, for example, "hidden" links between sites. This is reminiscent of the “six handshakes” theorem that supposedly links any two people on our planet. Similarly, on the Internet you can find a chain that links any two websites. By the way, there is a special function for such an investigation. Unfortunately, GoogleBrowser does not work correctly with Cyrillic, which somewhat complicates the perception of information.
Maybe someone will be interested that GoogleBrowser is not the only tool created using TouchGraph graphing technology . On the Internet, you can find other interesting developments, for example, Amazon Browser for building a map of the relationship of literary works or PubMed Browser for medical literature.
