From the 04. March 2010 iA blog: "It’s one year since our last Web Trend Map. A lot has happened, but there are not enough changes in the landscape of domains in the last 12 months to create another domain-based Web Trend Map. The big changes happened one level higher, on the social layer, that is: On Twitter and Facebook. Since Twitter is becoming an alternative web protocol that—together with Facebook—gets closer and closer to replacing the domain/search paradigm, we decided to make an info graphic that shows how, and through whom, Twitter developed into what it is now, close to its 4th birthday. What Is It? We call it Big Bang. It shows the explosive development of Twitter since the beginning from its center (birth) with two people, to its edges (today) with 75 million people. Well aware that a big paper thin disc is probably going to be a bitch to print and a big pain to put on the wall—we are still going to try to print it circle round. Please don’t faint just yet. Here is the logic: The main circle represents the amount of people within twitter. Instead of North-South-East-West, we divided the circle in different content categories. We tried to arrange the content areas so that similar categories are neighboring, and contrary categories are opposite. The circles within the circle represent the followers of a selection of the most relevant twitterers. The circles represent on a 1:1 scale what piece of the pie each twitterer covers. They have a spread (follower score) and a core (list score). Each bubble will feature the first tweet of that user. For some high activity accounts we might need some help to determine what the first tweet was." More at https://ia.net/topics/meet-big-bang-our-next-trend-map/
