Click on the maps at the original article for larger versions. What stood out to me: in the first map, measuring internet presence, North Korea doesn't even exist.

I was surprised that Cuba shows up.

Russia's small size was also unexpected.

While I read through the article rather quickly, I did not see how they obtained their data. In western countries, the majority traffic is probably from individual internet connections, where as in third world countries, they are from internet cafes. How do they calculate the number of people involved? It seems to me, one would need a count of Email addresses to get a reasonable count. I never knew an internet user that did not have an email address.

Funny trend seems to be... the colder the country is, the more people are on the internet. Gotta do something while you are holed up for the winter :)

Scrolled past the maps without looking, hazarding a guess that India, China, Malaysia and Indonesia are practically unpopulated. Now going for a look.

Don’t worry. If Obama gets his way, the US will shrink.

It would look like the NSA diagram.

This information is grossly in-correct.

If the map were correct, the Cayman Islands would appear and be 4 x the size of The Netherlands.

It’s no surprise, that the World Bank does not want that.

Cool map ... does North Korea NOT exist? One computer doesn’t give a spot on the map?
