Web Flow
A graphic representation of one of the many rabbit holes the Internets take me down on a daily basis. See explanation below.
- The process usually starts with some form of web aggregator, i.e news reader, in this case Google Reader.
- One of my daily reads is Wil Wheaton's "In Exile" blog. He made the following reference to "Penny Arcade", which got me to thinking about one of the stories, a real tongue in check number based on New Avengers: Illuminati starring Mini Marvels, that I read in World War Hulk Prologue: World Breaker #1 .
- Not knowing the title of the story or the authors name, I turned to Google, which promptly led me to Chris Giarrusso's web site.
- From there, I found out that in addition to Mini Marvels and Comic Bits, Chris also guest artist'd on Player vs. Player, creating a circular reference back to Wil's post.
Although, the process is fairly common for anyone that uses the Web, I just always found it to be rather intriguing, especially considering that in most cases, individuals whom start on the same page will inevitably end up at completely different locations given a minimum number of links clicked through.
