Hi! I would like to show you the map that I made for Zorgloob showing the links between more than 100 Google services.

Because it's a 4617x1501 png picture, I dont put the picture in this forum, it would be a disaster for the interface ;)

To see it, just clic the picture in this article : zorgloob.com/2007/07/google-en ...

Fell free to comment in english below the article.

Nice one
Keep it updated

There is a Grand Central icon in that graphic. That isn't 100% confirmed by either party as being part of Google.

Ok, I will remove the Grand central Icon.

I will add missing Chinese and Russian services today.

Three more links and everething change :-)

Just one thing, dear Canadian colleague, I'm not sure there is a link between Search History & AdSense, but I'm sure there is one between Search History & AdWords.

With a so big image, Google could print it and paste it on their masterplan in Mountain View office :-)

I made some changes and modify services names to make the map more readable. But size is increasing : 5920x1640 ~713 ko

This is very interesting. It would be immensely interesting to have this be a (clickable) imagemap. You could connect each product icon to the respective product, and each line to the product relationship with the other product (e.g. I might not know what's the connection from Google Maps to the Google Toolbar, as shown). Perhaps to save some time, this could all point to a Google search (e.g. for ["google toolbar" "google maps"] and so on).

yea, and color-change on mouseover to highlight a line would also be great ;-)

Tanks for your comments!

I just made it with Graphviz – Dot, but i'm building a new Zorgloob service called "Zorgloob Logiciels" (Zorgloob softwares in english), it will provide an interface to show links between services : for exemple, when you click Google Maps, you will see a short description of the service, all caracteristics, feedback from readers (comments, evaluations), and all the services connected with a description of the connection (using the same database I used for the map).

My goal for this map is to find a way to make a dynamic graph using MySQL database and AJAX. If someone know such software/API/Script, please tell me!!

You can contact me using Zorgloob contact form (zorgloob.com/contact.php) if you have any question/suggestion about this project

Ok, I found a way to make a clickable one with dot! Both services and links will be clickable.

I will post here an update when it will be available.

I have been working on this since last night!!!

Is Now! WOOOOW! (pronounced wuuu)

I've been planning on doing a similar thing, but showing how Google could get from over 100 products to no more than 6, through merging related products. I've been working on the code for a while, but I gave up last week!

I've played with something similar using a Java visualizer earlier this month, but stopped in the middle because it became a mess... but if anyone wants to see/ play around with the sample Java files:

blogoscoped.com/temp/temp-grap ...

A clickable version of the map is now available (logiciels.zorgloob.com/graphe. ...) as the new Zorgloob database of Google services (logiciels.zorgloob.com/)

There should be a link between Google Talk and Google Code, because some of Google Talk's code is available on Google Code (libjingle for instance)

Query: what constitutes a "link"? Interaction between the products at the interface level? What about sharing of usage data from one product to another? Is that represented as well?

Links will be, in the future, clikable too and it will show a description of the link. Maybe an English version will be made after.

Check it out, I scanned all of Luka's work and linked it via IBM's Many Eyes protocol.

Wow! That is brilliant! Well done Chair.

Good jo.b Chair, be careful, Luka often updates his map ;)

Wahooo! I wish I could have coded my map like this! Good Work Chair!
