After the pizza box pie chart and the pie chart already eaten, now more pie chart craziness in form of a cleverly divided chocolate fudge cake [maryandmatt.net], made of out of exactly 70% milk, 20% dark and 10% white chocolate. If there is anything else in this world that is circular, eatable and proportionable, I am sure we will see it soon in form of a chart. Via Swissmiss.

We have found a lot of conflicting data in our research, as Gaurav expressed in his last post on Flickr privacy settings worldwide. Brazil and India seem to favor Orkut, despite differing Geert-Hofstede attitudes towards uncertainty avoidance. Universal McCann found that Americans seem to have fewer contacts and socialize far less online than the BRIC countries, which is odd given that online social networks had a head-start in the US. In my research model, I ...

Neither Michael Arrington nor Marshall Kirkpatrick share any details of the methodology behind the map, but a quick Google search led ...

In my earlier post on the recently published Universal McCann study, I had written about how we use different communication channels to stay in touch with our contacts. Perhaps the most important insight in the Universal McCaan study is that we use the internet for expanding our network of contacts but use the mobile phone to maintain our current network. Here’s another interesting insight from the Universal McCann report: we use social networks for making ...

In search of more prisms that I can examine BRIC countries through (Gaurav blogged about Geert Hofstede, which gave us some interesting data points), I came across Edward Hall’s high- and low- context analysis. Other sites already cover Hall’s theory pretty well, but basically he differentiated cultures based on an idea that some had high-context communication and others had low-context communication. Scandinavians, for example, have low-context communications. You can walk into any conversation with them ...
