Check out the evolving network of http://sci.rutgers.edu (http://www.aharef.info/static/htmlgraph/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsci.rutgers.edu%2F)& other web sites using .. 'websites_as_a_graph. (http://www.aharef.info/static/htmlgraph/)' software
This software will show html (tag) structure of different web sites.
Here's a legend (http://aks.rutgers.edu/images/webGraph/Legend.jpg) which explains nodes & branches of the networks
There are interesting parallels with neuronal & all sorts of other networks (http://www.nytimes.com/imagepages/2006/10/30/science/20061031_ESSAY_GRAPHIC.html). For example, similar (fractal (http://classes.yale.edu/fractals/)) mechanisms may play a role in how they grow and develop (http://classes.yale.edu/fractals/).
It might be interesting to compare and characterize different web sites' networks. Do they tell us anything useful about the evolution, complexity or perhaps the personality of the web site design?
