Stayathomia on Facebook
Peter Warden looks at how Facebook users in different US states are connected to each other. The country, he says, can be divided into roughly seven regions. Loved Stayathomia:
"Stretching from New York to Minnesota, this belt's defining feature is how near most people are to their friends, implying they don't move far. In most cases outside the largest cities, the most common connections are with immediately neighboring cities, and even New York only has one really long-range link in its top 10. Apart from Los Angeles, all of its strong ties are comparatively local. 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."
