The BBC has developed an innovative interactive graphic that makes it simple to visualise the importance of different types of website on the internet.

‘SuperPower: Visualising the Internet’ uses data collected by The Nielsen Company in the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Brazil, US and Australia to present the influence of different categories of website and of the major players on the web.

Readers can explore the graphic on the BBC’s website.
