Cloud Computing Mindshare by Region

A few days ago Peter Laird posted an interesting note to the Cloud Computing group. He took his raw analytics data for his blog and posted the percent of visits by continent. Soon after both John Mills and I did the same for our respective blogs. I thought it would be interesting to aggregate the information together and see what falls out.

This is by no means scientific - more indicative than definative - but it does give an idea about where the Cloud Computing interest is coming from.

The Americas are obviously the MindShare leader (at least for 3 blogs written here in the U.S) - with Europe and Asia coming in next.

When we look at which countries are driving the traffic within the regions a few stand out. The U.S. and Canada are driving the Americas Traffic. In Europe it seems to be the United Kingdom, Germany, France and the Netherlands. Asia is Japan, India, South Korea and China. Oceania is primarily Australia.

I'm still trying to decide if this is just interesting information or tells me something. I wasn't surprised by anything other than South Korea. The methodology is also somewhat biased because of the regional nature of the Blogs.

However some indicative information is better than none.

The other blogs used to help pull this information together -

He has a great entry that delves much deeper into the details behind his numbers.
