Walk On

walk2web 

If tabbed browsing cannot contain your world wide web ramblings, then Walk2Web is perhaps the macro view of the internet you have been waiting for;

“You begin by entering a URL and then you are presented with a visual map of all the websites which are linked to it and from it. From there you can just start “walking” through the different links which show a screenshot of the correspondent website by simply mousing over it.” (via Visual Complexity)

Walk2Web could exponentially increase productivity, particularly in our case, since we seem to spend a lot of time becoming irreversibly lost in blogrolls, and annotated hyperlinks.  This handy tool accurately captures the entire linked network of a webpage, making it possible to quickly scan any links without exhausting the back button, or becoming hopelessly distracted.

Yet Walk2Web could conversely make the web browsing experience a little too enjoyable…to the point where we might just become more efficient at getting lost.  Hey, we never would have found Walk2Web without wandering aimlessly through the abyss that is the blogosphere.
