Armenian, Azerbaijani, and Georgian Internet user types
What are the typical Internet users in the Caucasus? Using factor analysis (a technique where you see what things are related to other things), I’ve created some Caucasus Internet user types.

Age distributions on Internet and Social Networking Sites in Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia
I had a request via Twitter for age analysis on social media use in the Caucasus. Ask and you shall receive. But first, let’s start with Internet frequency.

Social media in the Caucasus Part 2 — չորս քառակուսի, dörd kvadrat, ოთხი მოედანზე
After yesterday’s post on my thoughts on social media in the Caucasus, I came across Foursquare maps of Yerevan, Baku, and Tbilisi. I love this sort of visualization and how you can sort of see the life of the city in it. Foursquare is a mobile-based “game” (it gets its name from an American (?)…
