This morning I ran across this map of Twitter and Flickr activity around the world. The blue dots represent Twitter activity, while the orange-ish ones represent Flickr photo uploads.
I think the prevalence of activity in the West says something about the world, although I haven’t nailed down exactly what that is yet.
It’s related to something I’ve been thinking about recently: what it means to be rich and what it means to be poor, how even the poor in the west are quite well off compared with the poor elsewhere.
