The updates at the bottom feel like a game of some sort.

  Facebook gains Belgium from Skyrock
  Facebook gains Cuba from Hi5
  Hi5 gains Cyprus from Facebook
  Hi5 gains Luxembourg from Facebook

Great observation. That's actually why I love entrepreneurship because business to me is basically the biggest game in the world, and the amount of cash you have in your bank account is your score.

I didn't think Facebook could be used in Cuba. Aren't computer services part of the embargo?

Yep. Some kind of UI for clicking a country to check the status would help -- it's not easy to come up with that many distinguishable colors.

Can anyone find Myspace anywhere other than the US? It's the largest by far but it's interesting that Facebook actually dominates in more countries.

Edit: It looks like it could be an Alexa error from the footnote.
