Map of Social Networks

One of the "in" things today is to try to use social networks for everything including marketing, advertising, social mobilization and yes even teaching. I came across this graphic a while back showing which social networks are prevalent in which countries.

This is quite interesting, but it only gives you which networks are most popular based on goodle trends and alexa at one point in time. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice visualization, but I think that some people might use this as sure proof that they should use one network over another when the better approach, in my opinion, is diversification :-)
