From Peter Warden a former Apple engineer, some fascinating visualizations and findings on Facebook data. For all our interconnectedness, there is still some very distinct ways we interact regionally and culturally. I especially like the regional names such as Pacifica, Socalistan, and Stayathomia.
Unsurprising, but still interesting this quote from his post in reference to the north and northeast portions of the country, "In contrast to further south, God tends to be low down the top 10 fan pages if she shows up at all, with a lot more sports and beer-related pages instead."
He does say that these are qualitative, not quantitative results. Still very well worth taking a look. He is also offering up the stats to any researchers out there interested in playing around with them. Really interesting stuff! Go see it here.
