Top 10 FB countries By Pulkit Sharma
Swedish company Pingdom was founded by Sam Nurmi with “a very strong and narrow focus. That focus lies on covering the uptime monitoring needs of 90% of the companies in the world.” By all accounts, the technology used by Pingdom provides a quality service to customers in more than 130 countries.
Pingdom has just released a report on Facebook (FB) adoption in the top 10 countries.
“ Cyprus has largest share of Facebook users compared to population
We took SocialBaker’s data on how many Facebook users there are in countries around the world, data on Internet users from the World Bank, and population data from Wikipedia. After combining all of that we came up with chart above.
As you can see we’re interested in what percentage of the population of a country that is on Facebook, not the absolute number of Facebook users. We feel that comparing Facebook users to population gives a better indication of the social network’s popularity. That’s what the yellow bars in the chart show.
The red bars show the number of Facebook users in each country as a percentage of Internet users. As can be expected, the percentages for these red bars are higher than for the yellow ones. “ (12/29/2011) |
