Alright, I admit<br \/>\nit, this is cheating. It isn&#8217;t really a cool toy itself, but it is<br \/>\nabout cool toys. \ud83d\ude42 And I am such a sucker for visualizations<br \/>\nandinfographics, just love them.<\/p>\n<p>This is a nice tight way to look at how different cultures are using<br \/>\nsocial media in different ways, and the relative importance, both to<br \/>\nlocal users and to the impact on the global social media community.<br \/>\nTwo caveats on that.<\/p>\n<p>First, China, because they&#8217;ve locked down so much internet access at<br \/>\nthe border, does not have the impact on the global community that you<br \/>\nwould expect from them having both the largest population of social<br \/>\nmedia users AND the largest percentage of that population! Second,<br \/>\nthis is only looking at the social WEB, and does not include mobile<br \/>\nuse of the same social tools, meaning this is not a comprehensive look<br \/>\nat the social media space.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from those, here is a quick snapshot view.<\/p>\n<p>Countries with the biggest social media presence internationally:<br \/>\nUnited States \/ China, meaning basically the USA has the largest<br \/>\npresence for now. If China gets smart and unlocks their borders, they<br \/>\nwill likely dominate everyone else.<\/p>\n<p>Countries for which the social media impact is pervasive throughout<br \/>\ntheir culture:<br \/>\nChina<br \/>\nIndia<br \/>\nBrazil<br \/>\nRussia<br \/>\nSouth Korea<br \/>\nMexico<\/p>\n<p>Who&#8217;s missing? Well, Japan is using mostly mobile (the wave of the<br \/>\nfuture, folks, so pay attention!). That means they don&#8217;t show up as<br \/>\nweb based users, but they are probably major players in the social<br \/>\nmedia space, just not in the way it is being measured here.<\/p>\n<p>Now, of these big users, who is using what (since the various<br \/>\ncountries are using social media in very different ways).<\/p>\n<p>United States = social network (eg. Facebook) \/ pics (eg. Flickr)<br \/>\nChina = pics \/ blogs<br \/>\nIndia = pics \/ social network<br \/>\nBrazil = social network \/ pics<br \/>\nRussia = pics \/ social network \/ video<br \/>\nSouth Korea = pics \/ blog<br \/>\nMexico = pics<\/p>\n<p>What about our linguistic neighbors, the other English speaking<br \/>\ncountries? How do they compare to the USA&#8217;s behaviors with social<br \/>\nmedia? Well, basically Australia and the UK are very similar to the US<br \/>\nin percent of population engaged with social media and the preferred<br \/>\ntypes of tools. Canada is very similar, but with a higher percentage<br \/>\nof their population engaged.<\/p>\n<p>Basic takeaway? Pictures are WAAAAYYYYY more important for marketing<br \/>\nto and engaging with other countries than I had ever imagined. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/flicker.com\/69145729@N00\/4165070454\">Posted<\/a> by <a href=\"http:\/\/flicker.com\/69145729@N00 \">rosefirerising <\/a> on 2009-12-07 02:14:42 <\/p>\n<p>[shock_spots id=&#8221;2726&#8243;]<br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p>  Tagged:  , momentile , 2tag , social media , social networking , global , map , cool toys , facebook , flickr , photos , cooltool , umtnt <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Infographic #001 \u2013 Global Map of Social Web www.globalwebindex.net\/latest\/index.php\/2009\/11\/26\/infogr&#8230; Mashable is highlighting this amazing data visualization \/ info graphic from TrendStream (www.trendstream.net\/) who also do [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":68,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4997","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.etrafficlane.com\/60dollarmiracle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4997","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.etrafficlane.com\/60dollarmiracle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.etrafficlane.com\/60dollarmiracle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.etrafficlane.com\/60dollarmiracle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/68"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.etrafficlane.com\/60dollarmiracle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4997"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.etrafficlane.com\/60dollarmiracle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4997\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.etrafficlane.com\/60dollarmiracle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4997"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.etrafficlane.com\/60dollarmiracle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4997"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.etrafficlane.com\/60dollarmiracle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4997"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
