Hi everyone,
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 is a list of all the countries represented by DDN members. If you don't see your country listed, it's either because you haven't set up a DDN website profile yet, or it's because you mis-selected your country when doing so. (Mistakes like this explain why all the members supposedly from Afghanistan are from the US, which is why I don't count the country in the list.)
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 Zimbabwe
