The Blog Tree

A viral infographic of the blogosphere. Eloqua brought the marketing brief. JESS3 drew the limbs. This page is the interactive home for that map.

Sun through a forest canopy, the metaphor for The Blog Tree

Click a limb

Roots are tools. The trunk is publishing. Branches group how people actually blogged.

Editors working a news desk, the news branch of the tree

News

Daily desks, wire blogs, and the sites that still break a story before the paper. On the original tree they sit high on the trunk, close to the sun of traffic.

Eloqua × JESS3

A marketing services firm and a data-design studio. One brief. One poster that kept getting forwarded.

Marketing analytics work behind the Eloqua brief

Eloqua

The marketing services company that commissioned and spread The Blog Tree. Demand gen, lists, and a reason to print a wall chart.

Data visualization work in the spirit of JESS3

JESS3

The creative agency that drew the limbs. Information design, not a logo dump. The tree is still how people remember the piece.

★★★★★

JESS3 made the data readable. Eloqua made it travel. The branches still hold up.

A poster you actually study. Tech, culture, and news sit on different limbs, not in a list.
