The world according to Facebook

It's interesting to look at the distribution in the developing world. That little point of light in East Africa is Ethiopia. When I was there I noticed that everyone is crazy about Facebook! I talk about this in my post "Twelve random observations about Ethiopia".

Although Ethiopians love Facebook, their country isn't clearly delineated on this map. That's because the majority of users are centered in the larger cities. While everyone talks about the digital divide between rich and developing nations, the developing world has a huge digital divide between rural farmers and city dwellers.

Then again, much of backwoods Missouri is still on dialup. . .
