The Ten Nations Where Facebook Rules The Internet

Based on this article the Philippines is now the "Social Networking Capital in World". Facebook has about 93% penetration of the 29% of the Filipinos who are online. We used to be the text capital of the world, not sure but I think we were overtook by Indonesia. I think it's due to the sheer number of their population though.

Here's the stats based on the article from 247WallStreet.com:


1. Philippines
> Facebook: 93.9%
> Twitter: 16.1%
> LinkedIn: 1.9%
> Internet Use: 29.7%
Social network penetration is incredibly high in the Philippines, reaching 95%.  Facebook is the country’s most popular website, more so than Google, and has a penetration rate of 93.9%.  The Philippines is also the eighth most popular country for Twitter use on a global scale, with a penetration rate of 16.1%.  The popularity of photo sharing has increased by 46% in the country in one year, largely due to Facebook.  Social networking is so popular among Filipinos, the country has been nicknamed “The Social Networking Capital of the World.”
