Stuck for something to do this morning in that brief period between the end of breakfast and the start of the athletics? We've just stumbled across this jaw-dropping, fascinating internet map.
It shows 350,000 websites, each represented as a dot. The size of each dot is determined by the amount of traffic that website receives, and dots are grouped together in a way that mirrors how closely sites are linked. The map uses figures from the end of last year - at the highest level, you can see how sites like Google, Facebook and YouTube dominate.
But as you zoom in, extra levels of detail become visible, revealing corners of the internet and sites you'd forgotten all about. You can even search for websites to see where they sit in the map and how big they are in comparison to websites around them.
