Abstract
A visualization of the crowds of people visiting a web site is developed. Visitors are drawn as icons on a map of the web site; the animation of people's movements conveys the crowd dynamics of visitors. The visualization combines three pieces: a map of the web site, an iconic representation of individual visitors, and an interpretation of the dynamics of visitor patterns to show crowd phenomena. The effect is to make a web site look like a social, active space.Keywords
