Awareness and usage of social networks is high in Europe, with 98% aware of at least one network and 73% as members of at least one. Emerging markets like Brazil and India have even higher rates of social network penetration. Facebook is the dominant social network in Europe, though other large networks like Twitter and LinkedIn also have significant reach. Smaller networks face challenges growing due to people's reluctance to join new networks or increase their memberships.

43. Facebook rules the social media space, but is having a hard time in China & Japan.Facebook rules, at least in Europe, US and Australia. No other network reaches the 96% awareness and 62% usage level of Facebook. If we take a look at both awareness and membership, Twitter and MySpace are number two and three social media in Europe. Given the fact that LinkedIn is a professional network, it is worth pointing out that this network ranks fourth, both in terms of awareness and membership. On European level, Vkontakte (a Facebook look-alike) is a strong network in Russia and Ukraine. In a broader perspective, Qzone (China) and Orkut (Brazil, India) are network sites to take into account.Facebook has lower penetration rates in China and Japan.

61. The Twitter Paradox: high awareness versus low usage. What’s next?Compared to Facebook, Twitter is still a pretty small network of people. Twitter is well known, but has not reached the penetration level of Facebook yet. Future adoption looks good, but there is still a long way to go. Facebook and Twitter are a perfect couple, both sites serve different needs. When people join Twitter, their Facebook usage does not decrease. Twitter users are typically using more social media than non Twitter users.
