Check out this cool interactive map of the world – highlighting the dominant social network in each country. It would be much more useful if it had a ‘leaderboard’ of networks for each country and membership numbers etc, but surely that’s a matter of time (in fact, clicking through to the data set shows it really is embarrassingly top-line – but the possibility for doing all of the above appears to be there).
Unsurprisingly the map is dominated by Facebook, but it’s interesting to see where other networks have a stronghold.
‘Many Eyes’ is something I’m going to check out in a bit more detail too…

Cool, yes. But no way near as cool as this sexy map…

Infographics rock my world yo. x
Haha! That’s very true. Maybe I should have just showcased some of the coolest interactive maps. I actually prefer NYT’s twitter mashup during the superbowl….

Or just NYT’s best maps, as that one kicks ass as well.
