A graphic made of random coordinates taken from analysing 10% of the web has been released a few days ago on Alexa Web Discovery Machine blog. The result is stunning for several reasons.
First, it just looks like a Da Vinci drawing. I mean really. Especially as it is plotted in red.
Second, there are clear patterns and the points are not evenly distributed like you thought they could have been and a lot are concentrated on the axis and the origin - I leave it to statistics experts to come up with theories and explanations.
Finally, what is this AC/DC-lightning looking shape doing in the middle of the big circle? Is the web trying to warn us that we could get electrocuted while websurfing?
Of course, there is a strong bias on the kind of coordinates found online as shown in a following post a few days later.
