Ever wondered who the really early adopters are? Here’s an anecdotal, probably inaccurate, but interesting methodology.
I was testing today to see if I could export my friends data from facebook. I found a facebook app called FriendsCSV which exports your friend data into a CSV file. (I was hoping to get my friends email addresses so I could update my local addressbook, but unfortunately wasn’t successful.)
However, the list was ordered by userID, which shows us when each person first signed up for facebook. I have an interesting list of technology early adopters in my facebook friends list, so now you can see who among the people I know were the first people to join up for facebook.
Are they the early adopters for everything? Probably not. But this could be an indicator.
