I tried using a search engine "TIMEMAP" that can access pinpoint information to the information I want to search as a chronological table



Now that the decades have passed since the Internet came on the Internet, new information was added on a daily basis in addition to the information that existed on the Internet, and the state where both old information and new information are simultaneously present on the web is common It is getting. For that reason, if you search a word with a search engine, old information with a large number of accesses will be displayed at the top and you can not reach the new information, or conversely you will only see new information but want to know the old information Tend to occur. A search engine that displays information accumulated like a stratum like a chronological table and can see the information of words searched on the time axis "TIMEMAPSince it was released from 30th October 2017, I actually tried using it.

TIMEMAP

The top page of TIMEMAP is exemplified by a search form at the top and a graph obtained by searching TIMEMAP at the bottom.


In addition to displaying search results as TIMEMAP, TIMEMAP tabulates the number of sites hit as a result of searching by age,Dot Map,Heat map,Line graphIt can also be a frequency graph such as.


I will put a word on the search form immediately. After typing "smartphone", click "MAPPING" on the right ... ...


The page hit by "smartphone" is displayed in chronological table format.


Because the word "smartphone" has too many search results, the chronology was created only from 2000 to 2012. If you want to display recent results as well, click "Get the next 10000 items".


After clicking "get the next 10000 things" several times, the latest results were finally displayed.


If you want to see more of the chronology in detail, click and drag the vertical white line under the chronology to the extent you want to see in detail.


Then, the chronology of the era surrounded by two white lines is displayed in magnification, and you can see the details of the page created at that time in more detail.


By dragging and moving the chronology, you can see the older era as well. As you progress gradually to the page of the old age, it makes me feel like I'm traveling on time on the net.


Click on the blue circle on the left side of the chronology ......


It is possible to see more detailed chronology of that period.


If you click the blue circle in succession, you can see more and more detailed chronology.


Clicking on the page you care about ......


A link to the relevant page on the right side of the screen and related articles below it are displayed.


At the bottom of the chronology, the number of pages hit by "smartphone" from 2000 to 2018 is represented by a heat graph.


The shape of the graph displayed at the bottom can be freely changed by clicking the graph icon, and it is like this when it is represented by a line chart.


This is represented by a dot graph. You can see how frequently searched words appeared on the web with easy-to-see graphs.


From the icon on the right side of the graph you can also share graphs with social media like Twitter and Facebook.


In the default state, the page displayed by TIMEMAP is limited to the page of the content company "Impress Watch" dealing with net news.


At the time of article writing, the web page retrieved and displayed by TIMEMAP is a content company that agrees with the development of TIMEMAPImpress Watch"JPubb"New book map") Was limited to the page of. Both are media with abundant content, but in TIMEMAP you can choose which media content to display. Click on the gear icon at the top of the screen to open the media selection page, and you can create a chronology by selecting your favorite media.


If you try to display the chronology created with the content in "JPubb" as a test, you can see the difference from the chronology made with the content in "Impress Watch".


Next, when creating a chronology with contents in the "New Book Map", the contents displayed considerably differed. "Impress Watch" is IT related net news, "JPubb" is a media dealing with press releases of listed companies, government agencies, municipalities, "new book map" is a bibliographic database of new books and content held by each is different It seems like it will result.


By clicking "Compare by media" at the top of the page, you can also display search results on three media at once. Results are reflected not only on chronology, but also on graphs.


By the way, the oldest page in the search result of "smartphone" was "Epson, developed transflective liquid crystal panel". When I click on what kind of page it is ... ...


Click on the link displayed on the right side of the screen ......


The news page at that time was displayed. Although it makes me feel history from the making of the site, contents make it feel the era such as 2.6 inches, 38400 pixels, 262144 color indication etc.


TIMEMAP also allows you to search multiple chapters at a time and display the chronology. Searching with the words "smartphone" "iOS" "Android", such a chronology was created. Especially when looking at the lower graph, you can see that 'iOS' starts to appear frequently in 2010 and 'Android' has begun to appear around 2008.


Common to "iOS" and "Android" is that the number of pages is rapidly increasing from a certain point of time. When we looked at what kind of news triggered the number of pages rapidly increased, "iOS" was timing when Apple announced Apple and "Android" when Google announced a new OS to be installed in mobile phones.


When comparing with the line chart, you can see that the number of pages is increasing more explosively with "iOS" than the speed increase of "Android" pages.


Searching with the words "AI" "Deep learning" "artificial intelligence", you can see that the number of pages of "AI" and "artificial intelligence" are almost synchronized. As it is the difference between English and Japanese, of course it is natural. The word "deep learning" has appeared around the year 2014, the number of pages is increased at a stretch per 2015 years, and the word peaks in 2016.


Also try to compare between Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and popular social media ......
