-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Facebookmap of the World Date: Wed, 15 Dec 2010 00:46:17 -0800 (PST) From: MARZIO VENEMAN <[log in to unmask]> To: Angie Cope <[log in to unmask]> Dear subscribers MAP-L, With reference to the above, I take pleasure informing you as follows: http://www.fastcodesign.com/1662881/infographic-of-the-day-facebook-uses-friendships-to-map-the-world http://www.fastcodesign.com/1662881/infographic-of-the-day-facebook-uses-friendships-to-map-the-world Paul Butler usually works as a grunt on the data infrastructure engineering team at Facebook, which gives him access to Facebook's mighty data warehouses. Which means his side projects take on a grand scale. This one began with profile data from a scant 10 million people -- or about 2% of Facebook's users. Butler first tabulated the number of friends between each city, and what latitude and longitude each friend was at. Then, he created a color code: The more connections between two places, the lighter the line is; the fewer, the darker. What emerged, of course, is a map of the world unlike any other. .......................................................>>> I trust this information is sufficient for your purposes, in case you require any additional details, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned.
