A wide variety of businesses use Fractal Maps to improve the performance of their online information systems and search engines.
Hedgefund.net
Hedgefund.net maintains the largest database of hedge fund performance information in the world, providing coverage of over $1 trillion of invested capital, and publishes monthly rankings of the funds both within the United States and offshore. There are thousands of funds classified by manager, strategy, geographic focus and funds under management, so simply listing the top 10 each month gives an inadequate feeling for which areas offer the most promising prospects for investors.
The Fractal Map of HFN Rakings allows institutional and high-net-worth users to locate funds rapidly in Hedgefund.net's database that are generating significant returns through the use of visual cues to spotlight over-performing investment regions, hedge fund strategies and ultimately individual funds. Fractal Maps identify points of interest within the vast expanse of the hedge fund universe, and allow investors to explore these areas with efficiency and ease.
"The introduction of Fractal Maps to our database of hedge funds, provides our users with improved search functionality," said Don Cacciapaglia, Chairman and Chief Executive officer of Channel Capital Group Inc., the parent company of HFN. "As the number of hedge funds increases and strategies become more esoteric, this new visualization software will allow our users to identify patterns that emerge in the hedge fund industry and drill down to the funds in which they are most interested."

By moving your mouse over a circle and "hovering" over it (by keeping the mouse still) for a short time, you will see labels appear to show you the titles of the page you are hovering over (at 12 o'clock) and the pages it is linked to.
In addition, the Fractal Map will show a "crumb trail" for the page you are viewing by highlighting the relevant circles in red. The smallest red circle represents the page you are viewing and any "parent" pages higher up in the website structure will also be highlighted red showing you the route you would take to reach the page. Note that the homepage itself is never coloured red in this way.
