Where Do Your Facebook Friends Live?

The Upshot at the New York Times recently posted the article "How Connected Is Your Community to Everywhere Else in America?" by Emily Badger and Quoctrung Bui. The article describes how economists at Facebook, Harvard, Princeton and New York University analyzed the geography of Facebook friends.

Be sure to roll your mouse over the interactive map to explore the geography of our friendships.
