The Colleges That Rule the Web [Infographic]

You’ve probably noticed your school becoming more active on the web and in social media over the last few years. There’s a reason for that; they’re competing ruthlessly with other colleges for web superiority to win students’ hearts and minds (and money).

Map of the Internet [Infographic]

Hosting provider Peer1 decided to get all geeky ahead of South by Southwest and created what it’s calling the Map of the Internet. Unlike cute maps showing web sites or personal viewpoints, this map illustrates what ISP is connected to what Internet Exchange or university network across a vast array of networks stretching around the world. It’s pretty sweet to look at, and Peer1 is handing out posters of the map at SXSW for the truly nerdy (I’d put it next to my spectrum-allocation charts).

Rajan Sodhi, VP of marketing  and communications at PEER 1, said the map was created using data from the Cooperative Association for Internet Data Analysis and contains information on 19,869 web players connected by 44,344 connections. The size of the nodes and the thickness of the lines indicates the size of those particular providers and their connections. Check Google at I8 or Verizon at F15.

There are a lot of negative education numbers in our infographic, but don’t let that get you down. There is plenty of data out there to show that sticking with school pays off. Earning an associate’s degree could mean the difference of $100 a week in earnings more than if you held just a high school degree. A bachelor’s degree holder earns almost $400 more a week than high school grads.
