Where are you on the Facebook map?

Visualization of Facebook Connections WorldwideIf you’ve ever marveled at the connections you’ve made on Facebook, there is now a map that shows just marvelous those connections really are. As Mashable reported on their Website (an excellent social media resource to follow, by the way, if you’re not already doing so) Paul Butler, an intern at Facebook, was able to create a map showing the network’s connections around the world. It’s a beautiful piece of work, but besides the beauty of the math and programming that went into creating this, there are 500 million other reasons to be impressed.

Who do you know through Facebook whom you would not possibly have met otherwise? What old friends from school or long-lost relatives have you discovered again? Where are you as you read this? St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador? San Diego, California, USA? Noida, India? Perth, Australia? People from each of those places and many more are connected on my Facebook page, and that is just the tiniest tip of the Facebook iceberg. Back in the early 1960s, Canadian teacher and futurist Marshall McLuhan called the world a “global village.” It certainly is today. Facebook allows us to socialize on a scale that was impossible in 1964, or even in 2004.

Facebook brings something for everyone

Without a doubt, some people get obsessed with Facebook. Some spend hours playing Farmville or Mafia games. Some sit and look at pictures and videos for hours. Some spend huge amounts of time here, with little or nothing to show for it. But others have plenty to show for their time here. They stay in touch with family members who would otherwise be completely out of sight. They help bring blended families closer together, or they find support for victims of family violence, or raise funds for worthy causes. Others grow church communities here, or help homeless veterans, or unite NFL fans , or grow their businesses whether a call center or real estate agents or whatever else you might imagine. And some are just incredibly giving as they help the rest of us learn how to make the most of Facebook, for whatever our own causes or objectives might be.

What is Facebook to you? What friendships have you found or rekindled there? In what creative ways have you or others used Facebook to promote a great cause? Are you a Facebook fan? Or someone who thinks we would be better off without it?

“knew exactly how to position his Company to enter the market”


“As part of my duties as a Trade Commissioner for the Department of Foreign Affairs I am required to provide services to Canadian companies interested in doing business in my territory. Many companies come to me under-prepared with poorly executed business strategies, and we have to send them back to Canada to re-vamp their plans. This was not the case when working with Lorne Pike and Tacamor.


“Lorne always knew what was happening in the market and knew exactly how to position his Company to enter the market and to take advantage the current market opportunities. It was a pleasure servicing such a business savvied, intelligent, well spoken individual. Lorne Pike should be seen as a “role model” for other Canadian business executives extending their companies operations into this region.”

— Justin Tarrants, Trade Commissioner, Miami, FL, USA
