Facebook stats: resistance is futile

Facebook has long held the top spot in my TECHNOLOGY RANKINGS. Social, hyperlocal, nearly real-time, and, though it makes no smartphone itself (yet), is optimized for mobile phones.

Take note. Facebook is not English only. Looks like over half of Canada is on, nearly half the United States. There is representation in the top 10 across North America, Europe and Asia.
