SOCIAL

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 looklook-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.

India show the highest

social networks. * The 44% share of social networkers in China is low compared to other
countries. This might be due to the fact that some large Chinese networks
(eg RenRen) were not included in this survey.
