social media world map

Came across this link from jowyang's twitter.

Social networks: different audiences according to continents'

Click on the map above to see it in full size.

Some translation via babelfish to help decipher the map:

• Par pays: By country
• Etats-unis: United States
• Corée du Sud: South Korea
• un quart des inscrits dans le monde: a quarter of the registered voters in the world
• un tiers des inscrits dans le monde: a third of the registered voters in the world

Some "hmm, wow" moments for me:

• Despite its popularity in the U.S., Facebook was not listed in the Top 5 in Asia.
• Orkut's popularity
• Cyworld and where it ranked in S. Korea AND in Asia
• How unpopular myspace is in Asia.

Personally, I have accounts in facebook, myspace, orkut, multiply, and Friendster. Friendster is probably the only one that I keep up-to-date and is linked to my friends.

What accounts do you have? Do you use them regularly?
