Asia Country With Facebook Dating
Facebook dating allows you to match with your Facebook friends and Instagram followers through the secret crush feature located at the bottom of the screen. If you add a profile to your secret crush list, and if they’re using Facebook Dating, they’ll be notified that someone has added them to a secret crush list without revealing your identity. A space just for Dating. Your Facebook Dating profile and conversations won't be shared with anyone outside of Dating. And everything you need to start your separate Dating profile is.
With data from Nick Burcher, plus some data about the world population (thanks, Wikipedia), plus a little bit of SQL, plus OpenHeatMap, we've got an interactive map you can play with to see where Facebook is all-conquering - specifically, which countries it has the largest (and sometimes smallest) number of the population signed up for, in hitting its 500 million user mark.
So here's the map. (Note: can be slow to load.)
And below is the data, as a handy table - country, Facebook users, population, and percentage penetration.
If you have more data about countries that aren't on this list then please add them in the comments.
