Thanks to Tomaoki Sawada who send me a post about Facebook Market Research Secrets from Saunderslog. You can go in and do market segmentation on Facebook users for free using the steps that Saunderslog provides. Tomaoki found where the IBMers on Facebook are from using this method. Here are some of his results. You can go to his post, Which country within IBM is most actively using Facebook? for the ones in the middle. I was not surprised at the top ones but some of the middle and bottom ones were counter intuitive but they may reflect the IBM presence in those countries. However, I doubt that Italy, for example, has a small IBM presence.
Top Five:
USA -5,780
UK - 5,320
Canada - 2,440
Australia -1,640
Sweden - 340
Bottom Five:
Colombia - 80
United Arabia 40
Pakistan - 40
Italy - 20
Japan – 20
When I log into the IBM network on Facebook (I am a member of the network) it lists 32,326 members. Where are all the rest located who are not on this list?
