Yup. And clicking the image there goes to fanpageanalytics.com, which seems to be a parked domain? There's only one page and it's completely irrelevant to anything.

His blog says he was almost sued by Facebook, but for making a site to crawl Facebook's graph. Obviously he's not being sued by Facebook for creating the image because the image is everywhere, but only as a ridiculously tiny version.

large enough? http://www.smartplanet.com/blog/smart-takes/infographic-the-...

Unfortunately it appears as if the original image was just stretched to a larger size, but if that's the case the resolution you're looking for just may not be available.
