Favicons of Most Popular Websites

Not really earth shattering news here, but it’s pretty neat. The Nmap security scanner team did a scan of the top million ranked sites on Alexa, grabbed their favicons, and put them on the map in proportion to the amount of traffic they get. The result is a neat mosiac type image. Since the image is far too big to be displayed in full resolution on the web, Namp has set up an interactive version on their site that allows you to search for your favorite site and zoom in extremely close. Check it out at nmap.org.
