Facebook Philippines

Isn't it amazing?

This is a map that shows the facebook friend mega-network in souther and eastern Asia. It reveals the links of different centers of population all around the region. This image tells us something about the Philippines. For one, this image shows how almost all major islands in our country is radiating with facebook activity. This tells us about our infostructure. How about Mindanao? Interestingly enough, it also shows a relatively bright facebook presence so it is not quite left out from the rest of the region.

facebook presence in my opinion can be considered a soft indicator for economic development in this global and knowledge economy. Facebook presence obviously means internet connection. Internet connection which means an information structure that facilitates the exchange of information --- value.
