This infographic has been getting all kinds of love on Mashable. While it was created by a professionals I know and respect, it frosts me when wishes are presented as fact.
A portion of the underlying data originated from the ecumenical Addthis of Clearspring Ad-network fame, but the comparative set is fit into models that are dubious at best. Taking unlike metrics (e.g., Facebook's Monthly Active User, vs number of Gmail accounts) and using them for corollary or comparative models is risky if not deceptive form.
In the case of this infographic, the objective is to transfer the merits of well-known data (addthis tracking data) to unknown (pretty much everything else) and obscure the equivocation with slick design.
It's doing exactly what most people expect advertising to do; Lie.
