As you probably already heard, the last time Facebook announced 901 million . active users per month! Amazing is not even the number itself, and the dynamics of growth.

Let's see, what countries have the greatest growth, and compare with the local social networks that have recently occupied the same dominant position as the MySpace a few years ago.

We are talking about Brazil , India , Japan , South Korea and Russia .

If China had not been banned Facebook, he probably would have taken a leading position in terms of growth of social audience.

Brazil

It's hard to believe, but the rule of Orkut , which has traditionally been considered an Indo-Brazilian social network, there are no more. The number of Facebook users in Brazil has grown over the past 6 months 29.3 million up to46.3 million people.



India

Six months ago, India had 37.3 million active users of Facebook. Currently, they have 45.8 million, representing 56.57% of all Internet users in the country. With the pace until the end of the year, you can easily overcome the 60-million barrier.



Japan
It is simply a social explosion. Auditorium Facebook grew by 74% to 5 millionup to 8.7 million active users. Given the fact that the growth rate accelerated significantly by the end of the year the Japanese Facebook users can become the order of 13-16 million



South Korea

As in Japan, South Korea, there is a huge increase in users of Facebook - by67.38% . Now it is little more than seven million people. The local social network CyWorld clearly losing ground.



Russia

In Russia traditionally lags behind Facebook from local competitors. The increase, though not so impressive, and, in comparison with other countries in this review, but steady - 22.39% . Over the past six months Facebook addeda million Russian users. All in all, they have 5.63 million

That many people say that because of the Chronicle (timeline) people will flee from Facebook? Well, funny I hear such predictions is not the first time.First, criticized the privacy policy, and then chat, then a feed, and now chronicles ... but for some reason, Facebook is growing and growing.

Okay, enough gloating, it's too much, of course.
