I'm looking at the global social network map over at Wandamere by way of an analysis of the map post at Valleywag. It's basically our planet with national boundaries filled in with the color of the dominant social net in that particular country. My first thought was...how cool. Then it became obvious that there's a drawback in using the brand colors for mapping when several of the major social nets have all gone blue. (So, is that MySpace that's taken over America, and Facebook in Canada?)
My second thought: are they really hot on Hi5 in the Galapagos or did the islands simply get lumped in with Ecuador where Hi5 is hot?
Here's another cool social net face-off between facebook, myspace, orkut, bebo, linkedin over on GoogleTrends, showing news reference and search volumes.
Check out the giant version of the map here: http://www.wandamere.com/SocialNetworks_WorldMap.png/SocialNetworks_WorldMap-full.jpg
