Web Trend Maps

February 2nd, 2008 No Comments

[via] Information Architects Japan Web Trend Map 2007 Version 2.0 Information Architects Japan Web Trend Map 2008 beta I particularly enjoy the explanations of the inside jokes, which are very entertaining if you have some understanding of Tokyo and of Web Trends.
