Digital Divide Network: 6,600 Members in 115 Countries
For a long time, whenever people ask me where DDN members were from, I've usually said we have members from around 80 different countries, based on counting different domain names to the email list. But thanks to the new DDN website, I'm able to sort the list of website members according to country. I tried it this afternoon and I was astounded to find out that we now have more than 6,600 members from 115 countries! So apparently I had been low-balling my estimate by at least 30 countries.
If you're interested in seeing who's from a particular country, simply go to www.digitaldivide.net and type in the name of a country in the search engine, in the top right corner of the homepage. The site will then generate a list of all DDN content related to that country, including members. Interestingly, while US members still comprise the largest group by far, they are no longer in the majority. There are approximately 2,880 members from the US, equaling 43.5% of the entire membership. That means 56.6% of members are outside the US.
Here are the countries represented by DDN members:
Angola, Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Austria, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belarus, Belgium, Benin, Bolivia, Bosnia, Botswana, Brazil, Brunei, Bulgaria, Cambodia, Cameroon, Canada, Central African Republic, Chile, China, Congo/Brazzaville, Congo/Dem Rep, Costa Rica, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, Eritrea, Estonia, Ethiopia, Fiji, Finland, France, Germany, Ghana, Greece, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Jordan, Kenya, Kuwait, Lebanon, Liberia, Lithuania, Malaysia, Maldives, Malta, Mauritius, Mexico, Micronesia, Moldova, Monaco, Morocco, Mozambique, Namibia, Nepal, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nigeria, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Palestine, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, St. Lucia, Saudi Arabia, Sierra Leone, Singapore, Slovenia, Solomon Islands, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Tanzania, Thailand, Togo, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia, Turkey, Uganda, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States, Uruguay, Uzbekistan, Vatican City, Venezuela, Zambia and Zimbabwe
