This is good stuff, Thanks Matthew.

I have the impression that the selection of the search terms might biais the geographical distribution. From the map it seems evident to me that the French are underepresented because the English term of business was used as an indicator. Right ? What about the Chinese ? The Germans ? The Spanish ? If so, the map legend should mention that limit.

I studied the specialisation for the geographical distribution of sex-related terms but included a series of alternative terms, such as xxx, porn etc. My result was that the mosty sex-specialised countries were Muslim countries with at least a moderate internet diffusion, such as Pakistan, Bangladesh, etc. This looks somewhat different to what you show.

A study with a multi-language approach and with alternative search terms will give a more complete picture of the geographical distribution of user-generated content on the web.
