Or should I rather assume that the country checked this Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3998628784041768080.post-53647936128354307842013-09-10T21:14:29.366+01:002013-09-10T21:14:29.366+01:00This is certainly an alternative, but it doesn'...This is certainly an alternative, but it doesn't truly normalize the data, in fact it may actually skews the numbers in the exact wrong direction. This doesn't normalize the data because you're making an assumption that facebook's penetration is the same in every country.

I am curious to see the numbers in relation to the population (keyword: normalization), but I am not sure whether it is ok to use the numbers facebook provides for own visualizations.

For example, China is notorious for monitoring everything and has banned facebook. The equivalent that they have is heavily watched by authorities. Similarly, places like Russia/Ukraine (which have similar reputations) have something equivalent that is more popular.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3998628784041768080.post-14437524164872646022013-08-27T17:45:46.330+01:002013-08-27T17:45:46.330+01:00Worth noting the number of users in each country a...Worth noting the number of users in each country about which to query.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
