For many, the question posed in the title of this post seems silly, often resulting in either a confused expression, or a “how dare you ask that question” look from localization managers. Yet over the past few weeks I have spoken to a number of localization and SEO managers at Fortune 500 companies who [...]

While ‘social media’ may not be a completely new term (see the recent Forbes Magazine article for examples of great social media campaigns that began in the 1990s), the fast development of what social media has now become in the past years is staggering.

There are more people on Facebook worldwide [...]

Looking for old tweets? Look to Topsy. The service has just expanded to have what it claims to be the largest searchable collection of past tweets, over 5 billion of them, stretching back to at least May 2008. That makes it more comprehensive than Google’s Twitter search or even Twitter’s own Twitter Search.
Topsy will be [...]

That was the cry from Twitter execs when they read the recent report from comScore on the growth of the service worldwide. Latin America is up 305% over last year with a large portion of the users coming from Brazil and Venezuela. They say much of the growth comes from the fact that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez joined Twitter in April.
Another country caught up in the Twitter boom is Indonesia. 20.8% of that country’s population visited Twitter in June (the month the survey was conducted). Overall, Asia showed an uptick of 243%, way above the Middle East, Africa, Europe and even North America.
Since the survey was designed to measure the growth over the past year, the US and Canada landed in last place with only a 22% change in the number of people using Twitter.
Looking at the actual usage numbers, Asia is on top with 25,121 visitors this past June, with North America and Europe coming in just under that.
The survey also looked at mobile usage of Twitter and there the US was king with 8.3% of smartphone users logging on to tweet in June. The UK comes in second with Germany coming in third. These numbers are pretty sad considering that Twitter was originally designed for mobile use. Looks like most of us are Twittering from our home or office instead of instant messaging or sending an email.
The comScore report measured Twitter usage in 41 countries around the globe and growth was evident across the board. There was a 109% change worldwide and there’s every reason to believe that the growth will continue particularly in Latin America and Asia. For marketers with a global message, now would be a good time to mount that new Twitter campaign, while the program is still fresh, exciting and not over-saturated.

Facebook is an American success story. Started by a Harvard dropout (isn’t that how all big tech / Internet stories begin?), fraught with intrigue (which in the US means lawsuits and payoffs to hush potential rabble rousers) and something that goes beyond the walls of the US (sorry, but that was not an immigration reference unless you want it to be).
According to Royal Pingdom’s ‘research’ Facebook is truly a global company with the US leading the way, for now.
There are those who wonder whether the US has seen as much growth as it can for Facebook which may or may not be a real concern. Certainly the growth will slow (unless there is some deal where the government requires Facebook accounts so we can all be on the same playing field 
) in the US because it grew up here.
The rest of the world, and the advertising opportunities that it represents, certainly point to plenty of room for expansion for Facebook.
Facebook’s international expansion is well under way, and it’s arguably the largest and most wide-spread social network that ever existed. As Facebook grows on a global level, the current US dominance of the social network will gradually diminish and become more similar to the general distribution of Internet users.
Mark Zuckerberg has stated that it’s almost a guarantee that Facebook will one day hit 1 billion users, and at the current rate, it’s certainly looking possible. Considering there are close to 2 billion Internet users in the world, there’s still plenty of room to grow.
So here’s to Facebook’s world domination. May your status updates reach the four corners!
