What looks quite interesting:
- Germany and The Netherlands have very few users. It is true there is StudiVZ (8 million users) and Hyves (5 million users), but I also think that Germans don’t like social networks so much.
- The top countries are the Scandinavian, so there is a relationship between number of Internet users and number of Facebook users.
- As Matt Dickman reports, Facebook’s population is getting older, as the network gets more popular.
