Since our free and open source <a href="https://nmap.org">Nmap Security Scanner</a> software is all about exploring networks at massive scale, we started by scanning the top million web sites for 2013 (as ranked by the analytics company <a href="http://www.alexa.com/">Alexa</a>). We then downloaded each site's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon">favicon</a>—the small icon displayed next to a site title in browser bookmarks and tabs. <p>We scaled the icons in proportion to each site's monthly reach (popularity) and placed them in a giant collage. The smallest icons鈥攆or sites visited by only 0.00004% of the Internet population each month鈥攁re 256 pixels square (16x16). The largest icon (Google) is 394 million pixels. The whole collage is 5 gigapixels. <p>This is an update to a similar project we performed in 2010. That edition proved very popular. It was written up in the New York Times and other sites, exhibited at the <a href="http://www.newseum.org/">Newseum</a> in Washington D.C., and even found its way into the Guinness Book of World Records (see the <a href="#press">press section</a> for more). It is interesting to <a href="#2010">compare the new data with the old</a> to see how the Internet has evolved in recent years. <p>Since your web browser would likely choke on a 5 gigapixel image, we've created the interactive viewer below. It's divided into 813,200 small files which are only loaded as needed based on your location and zoom level. Click and drag to pan and use the mouse wheel (or toolbar) to zoom. For mouse wheel zoom, you may need to interact with the viewer first (e.g. drag something). A new feature this year allows you to hover your mouse over an icon to see the site name. You can also click on icons to visit the actual sites, but be careful with that! Even sites with cute icons (like the <a href="?search=xhamster.com">cartoon Hamster</a>) can be pornographic or worse. We have also added a fullscreen viewing option. <p>To find your favorite site (or your own site), type in the domain name (example: <a href="?search=reddit.com">reddit.com</a>) and hit search. <h2 class="center">Interactive Viewer</h2> <div id=viewer> <div id=well></div> <div id=surface></div> <div id=searchbar> <form onsubmit="return search_submit(this);"> <a title="zoom out" class=glyph onclick="zoom_out();">−</a><a id=z7 class=zoomtick onclick="zoom_set(7);"></a><a id=z6 class=zoomtick onclick="zoom_set(6);"></a><a id=z5 class=zoomtick onclick="zoom_set(5);"></a><a id=z4 class=zoomtick onclick="zoom_set(4);"></a><a id=z3 class=zoomtick onclick="zoom_set(3);"></a><a id=z2 class=zoomtick onclick="zoom_set(2);"></a><a id=z1 class=zoomtick onclick="zoom_set(1);"></a><a id=z0 class=zoomtick onclick="zoom_set(0);"></a><a title="zoom in" class=glyph onclick="zoom_in();">+</a> <input id=search autofocus><input id=submit type=submit value="Search"> <span id=searchinfo></span> </form> </div> <div id=expander> <a id=expandertext title="fullscreen" onclick="toggle_fullscreen();">fullscreen <span class=glyph>⎚</span></a> </div> </div> <h2 id="2010" class="purpleheader">Comparison to Favicon 2010</h2> <p>Our 2010 Favicon Project was a huge success and that data is still <a href="/favicon-2010/">fully browseable here</a>. The Internet's competitive ecosystem is always evolving, and these three years saw dramatic changes. In the social networking and blogging worlds, <a href="https://myspace.com/">Myspace</a>, <a href="http://www.orkut.com/PreSignup">Orkut</a>, and <a href="http://www.hi5.com/?">Hi5</a> collapsed to nearly nothing, while <a href="https://www.facebook.com/">Facebook</a>, <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/">LinkedIn</a>, and <a href="https://twitter.com/">Twitter</a> gained ground. <a href="http://pinterest.com">Pinterest</a>, <a href="http://tumblr.com">Tumblr</a>, <a href="http://weibo.com">Sina Weibo</a>, and <a href="http://instagram.com/">Instagram</a> quickly rose from nothing into dominant forces. In search, <a href="http://www.google.com">Google</a>, and <a href="http://www.ask.com">Ask</a> improved while <a href="http://www.yahoo.com">Yahoo</a> suffered. Chinese search engine <a href="http://www.baidu.com">Baidu</a>/<a href="http://www.hao123.com">Hao123</a> grew significantly after Google <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/23/technology/23google.html">shut down its Chinese service</a>. In media, <a href="http://www.youtube.com">Youtube</a> gained ground while the pirate sites <a href="http://megaupload.com">Megaupload</a>, <a href="http://megavideo.com">MegaVideo</a> and <a href="https://rapidshare.com">Rapidshare</a> jumped the plank. Finally, in e-commerce, <a href="http://amazon.com">Amazon</a>, <a href="http://www.ebay.com">eBay</a>, and China's <a href="http://www.tmall.com">Tmall</a>/<a href="http://www.taobao.com">TaoBao</a> gained ground. Almost all the top gainers were American or Chinese companies. The following tables display the biggest winners and losers. A change entry such as “<img src="images/downarrow.gif" width=11 height=14>6.9 to 20.6%” means the site (Yahoo) dropped 6.9 percentage points from 27.5% to 20.6% reach. <table class="datatbl"> <tr><th

I'll add the common ones to this section. <dl> <dt id="faq-1"><b>Why are some sites not found?</b></dt> <dd>There are a few possible causes. First, the site may not have been among the top million at the time the survey was done. <a href="misc/alexa-top1msites-20130226.csv.7z">Check the data file</a> (7zip-compressed) to see if it was present. Second, the site may have changed its icon since the survey was done. This page downloads the current icon of the site you type in, and looks up its hash in a database. Failing that, it will look up the site name in the database, but that only works if you use the exact same name we did when doing the survey. Third, it's possible that the site timed out or didn't have an icon at the time of the survey. Fourth, this page limits the size of the icons it will download. If an icon file is too big, it won't be found. </dd> <dt id="faq-3"><b>I've got a creative idea for creating a derivative work! How do I request permission and obtain high resolution files?</b></dt> <dd>Please <a href="mailto:fyodor@nmap.org">mail Fyodor</a>. We granted permission for people to use the 2010 edition in numerous ways, including exhibiting at <a href="http://www.newseum.org/">The Newseum</a> and printing a wall-sized version for a corporate boardroom.</dd> <dt id="faq-4"><b>Didn't you already do this a few years ago? What's the big deal about this update?</b></dt> <dd>Besides rescanning the Internet for the newest data, we updated our interactive viewer to actually identify icons as you hover your mouse over them. You can also click to visit the site. And we're excited about the new <a href="#poster">printed poster</a> option. The full-screen viewer is new, and scrolling performance is much improved. We have also grown the collage from 1.4 gigapixels to 5 gigapixels. For comparison, just take a look at the <a href="/favicon-2010/">old version</a>.</dd> <dt id="faq-5"><b>Why doesn't it identify the very small icons when I hover my mouse over them?</b></dt> <dd>For performance reasons, we don't load all of that information at once. Zoom in further and you can identify even the smallest of icons by hovering.</dd> <dt id="faq-6"><b>Why are some of the large icons so pixelated while others are so smooth?</b></dt> <dd>Favicon files use the Windows <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICO_%28file_format%29">ICO format</a> which allows an icon to be specified in multiple sizes. Almost every site includes a 16x16 icon since that's what browsers typically use in the URL and tab bars. Some sites include higher resolution icons as well, and we use the largest one in the file. 16x16 icons look very pixelated when zoomed. Of course we could find higher resolution icons for the likes of Facebook and Google, but we choose to show the actual favicons, pixelation and all. For comparison, the <a href="?search=facebook.com">Facebook favicon</a> is 16x16 while the <a href="?search=reddit.com">Reddit icon</a> looks smoother because they use 256x256.</dd> <dt id="faq-7"><b>Who is the unsung hero behind all of this?</b></dt> <dd>Even though many of the pictures on this page are of me (Fyodor), <a href="https://www.bamsoftware.com/">David Fifield</a> initially came up with the idea and did more of the hard coding work.
