A new Web Trend Map has been released by Information Architect. These maps are a nice way to foresee what’s on the rise and what’s on the decline as far as web trends go. Be sure to check out the large image on Flickr.

Notes from Trendpotting post:
A new exciting Web Trend Map version was recently released by Information Architect.
The current map is based on categorization of the web according to 13 trend categories, while the 3d visualization captures brands stability (width) and success (height). Trendsetters were added to the map as well. Influencers have indeed become powerful web brands.
TrendsSpotting has been suggesting the 3d features since the earlier versions of Web Trend Maps. Ranking brand’s strength is an important step for an initiative as this. Though, we are not sure if IS has done what it takes to present the power of the web brands.
