Richard Florida’s Creative Class blog reports that certain areas of the USA have a much higher use of social media than others. There are significant differences between California and Oklahoma, for example. Check out the map of the American Spiky Social Network.
The level of geographic concentration is pronounced, though the leading social media metros are not surprising. San Francisco and San Jose, Silicon Valley, top the list, with New York City, Austin, Boston, Seattle, Denver, Salt Lake City, L.A., and Atlanta rounding out the top 10.
I did a quick check of visitors to this blog over the past few months and it almost mirrors these results, with California, New York & Texas leading. This may be due to population but I find it a rather interesting coincidence.
