Byte Level Research: Web Globalization Intelligence
For Immediate Release

A New Way of Looking at the World (Wide Web)


Byte Level Research publishes the Map of the World Wide Web™ -- a valuable tool for Web globalization professionals

(San Diego, CA — July 6, 2007)     Every country has its own two-letter code, such as .de for Germany and .cn for China. But not all codes are so obvious, such as .lk for Sri Lanka or .za for South Africa.

That's where this new map comes in handy.

map of the world wide web

For global Web executives and students of globalization.

The Map of the World Wide Web includes 180 of the 250 county codes currently in use, covering most United Nations countries. Each two-digit code is aligned over the country it represents. And each world region is color coded with the legend below for quick and easy reference.

"I created this map because I needed an easy way to keep track of the all the country domains," said John Yunker, president of Byte Level Research. "And then I realized I wasn't alone in needing such a resource. This map is now being used by global Webmasters and marketers on four continents."

The Map of the World Wide Web costs $20 and bulk order discounts are available. For more information, visit www.bytelevel.com/map
