最初の地図は午後のひと仕事で組み立てられ、2番目は1週間、3番目は1か月に及ぶ集中作業を飲み込みましたが、4番目の Web Trend Map（2月公開予定）は、準備だけでこれまでの全版を合わせたより長い時間をすでに費やしています。コンセプトを広げすぎるリスク、データを詰め込みすぎる危険、シンプルなアイデアを台無しにする危険を踏まえ、私たちはすべてを窓の外に放り投げ、完全にゼロからやり直すことにしました。
新しいデザインにまだ納得できませんか？ まあ、実はまだそこまでではありません……。どう動くのか、実際にどう見えるのかはまだ明かしませんが、以下に使う予定のデータ一覧を載せます。今年の Web Trend Map に、どのネットワーク、どのウェブサイト、どのトレンドセッターを載せるべきか、ぜひ一緒に考えてください。あまり独裁的にならないためです。現時点で候補に挙がっているサイトや人物は次のとおりです:

どうぞ上のリストについてコメントしたり、載せるべきだと思うウェブサイトや人物を提案したりしてください。自分の個人ブログや、ちょっとクールだと思うだけのスタートアップ案件を載せてほしいなどとは言わないでください。基準は2つです。トラフィック面で高い関連性があること、または2009年に大きな勝者（あるいは敗者、深く落ちるには高く飛ぶ必要があります）になる可能性があることです。
