Flot vs JSON

The short version. JSON has roughly 1299x more sites overall (20.1K vs 26.2M). But the split flips by market: Flot over-indexes in United States, Korea and Indonesia, while JSON runs the majority in Finland, Ireland and New Zealand. Which one fits depends far more on your market than on raw totals.
