This map is obvious to anyone who has an account on these services. More to the point for a business focus is knowing that some also skew heavily in Europe: Ecademy (UK) and Open Business Club aka xing.com (Germany, France, Italy, Switzerland, Spain, etc.). LeMonde evidently never heard of them.
Too bad, because if you want to make serious business contacts on the European continent, you must join them. And your contacts will be fruitful and muliply easily if you do.

Absolutely. And I don’t know whether LeMonde deliberately excluded them, perhaps not considering them in the “social” networking category, or if they just went by total user counts and those don’t have as high numbers as the purely “social” sites.

That was a cool map. Some social media network is not familiar with me.
