The WebMap is a visual, multi-category directory which
contains 2,000,000 web sites. The user can zoom in and out of
sub-categories and "unlock" their contents.
Maps help write fiction, trace a user's clickpath (replete
with clickable web sites), capture Usenet and chat
interactions (threads), plot search results (though Alta Vista
discontinued its mapping service and Yahoo!3D is no more),
bookmark web destinations, and navigate through complex sites.
Different metaphors are used as interface. Web sites are
represented as plots of land, stars (whose brightness
corresponds to the web site's popularity ranking), amino-acids
in DNA-like constellations,topographical maps of the ocean
depths, buildings in an urban landscape, or other objects in a
pastoral setting.
