Icons of the Web
A sea of favicons, presented proportional to the sum of reach of sites using it; http://j.mp/Webicons (via @VizWorld)
Rivvas Leitmedien-Index der letzten 100 Tage: als Favicon-Diagramm schön anzusehen; http://tr.im/e4zt
WordPress introduces Blavatar, a blog’s avatar to be displayed as a favicon and trackback-icon; http://is.gd/9W0A
Aber das ist nur für WordPress.com-User möglich, oder?
Interessante Frage. Da Gravatar aber auch außerhalb von WordPress.com funktioniert und Blavatar darauf aufsetzt, gehe ich davon aus, dass es auch bei selbst gehosteten Blogs funktionieren sollte.

NMAP: “A large-scale scan of the top million web sites (per Alexa traffic data) was performed in early 2010 using the Nmap Security Scanner and its scripting engine. As seen in the New York Times, Slashdot, Gizmodo, Engadget, and Telegraph.co.uk … – We retrieved each site’s icon by first parsing the HTML for a link tag and then falling back to /favicon.ico if that failed. 328,427 unique icons were collected, of which 288,945 were proper images. The remaining 39,482 were error strings and other non-image files. Our original goal was just to improve our http-favicon.nse script, but we had enough fun browsing so many icons that we used them to create the visualization below. – The area of each icon is proportional to the sum of the reach of all sites using that icon. When both a bare domain name and its “www.” counterpart used the same icon, only one of them was counted. The smallest icons – those corresponding to sites with approximately 0.0001% reach – are scaled to 16×16 pixels. The largest icon (Google) is 11,936 x 11,936 pixels, and the whole diagram is 37,440 x 37,440 (1.4 gigapixels).“
