Asia constitutes a major economic problem for generalist social networks. The continent’s most important markets remain dominated by local players, as transnational players on the web scene are forced not only to deal with long-standing cultural particularities, but are also often obliged to negotiate with the local authorities in order to establish themselves in the country. China has 200 million social network users , and so represents a very significant portion of the market. http://www.inaglobal.fr/numerique/article/les-reseaux-sociaux-reflet-des-differences-culturelles

La mappemonde des réseaux sociaux - Domination de Facebook

http://www.accessoweb.com/La-mappemonde-des-reseaux-sociaux-Domination-de-Facebook_a9288.html Malgré une petite baisse de régime ces 2 derniers mois , Facebook domine, et de loin, l'univers des réseaux sociaux dans le monde avec plus de 675 millions de membres à son actif. Cette mappemonde, dont vous pouvez voir une animation ci-dessous retraçant cette domination depuis Juin 2009 a été réalisée par un blogueur italien, Vincenzo Cosenza , qui a utilisé les données de Google Trend et Alexa. Il est tout de même impressionnant de voir cette couverture bleue sur le monde représentant la domination de Facebook dans différents pays et ça pourrait même faire peur. Et dire qu'on croyait que Google allait dominer le monde...

La carte du monde des réseaux sociaux

La dernière édition de la carte du monde des réseaux sociaux datait de décembre 2010. Les chiffres évoluant très rapidement, une actualisation n’était pas de trop. C’est chose faite avec ce nouvel opus du blog Rian.ru . Facebook continue de dominer le monde, mais n’est toujours pas premier partout. Certains pays gardent des particularités locales. Qzone domine la Chine, VKontakte est premier en Russie, Orkut a inondé le Brésil et le Japon utilise majoritairement Mixi. http://www.blogdumoderateur.com/carte-du-monde-des-reseaux-sociaux-2/
December 2012, a new edition of my World Map of Social Networks, showing the most popular social networking sites by country, according to Alexa traffic data ( Google Trends for Websites was shut down on September 2012 ). Facebook with 1 billion active users has established its leadership position in 127 out of 137 countries analyzed. One of the drivers of its growth is Asia that with 278 million users, surpassed Europe, 251 million, as the largest continent on Facebook. North America has 243 million users, South America 142 million. Africa, almost 52 million, and Oceania just 15 million ( source: Facebook Ads Platform ). In the latest months Zuckerberg’s Army conquered Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia and Vietnam ( update: my data are about visitors, but I’d like to report that Draugiem’s spokeperson told me that they have 1.2 million members in Latvia.

L'utilisation des médias sociaux dans le monde

Le site SocialBakers est une mine de chiffres concernant l’utilisation des réseaux sociaux. A l’origine consacré uniquement à Facebook, il intègre désormais Twitter et LinkedIn à ces sites audités, même si la firme de Palo Alto reste son coeur de métier, avec des statistiques très variés et très fines à ce sujet. Il était assez logique que SocialBakers sacrifie à la mode des infographies, en présentant celle-ci, qui compile quelques données marquantes à propos de l’utilisation de certains réseaux sociaux dans le monde. Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn et Google+ sont ainsi présentés ici. http://www.blogdumoderateur.com/l-utilisation-des-medias-sociaux-dans-le-monde/
Le tableau ci-dessous réalisé par Elliance nous présente les usages de médias sociaux les plus connus (ne sont pas présents ni les blogs, ni les univers virtuels). Avez-vous vu la dernière colonne ? … Et oui, tous ces outils s’ils sont utilisés dans une stratégie de présence sur les médias sociaux cohérente et correspondant aux attentes de vos clients peuvent servir la promotion de votre entreprise ou de votre marque.

The world of social networking seems to be at a stable place with Facebook , Twitter and LinkedIn being the titans of the online world.

China's Top 3 Social Network Sites

The leading social networking site in China, renren.com, started out as a blatant Facebook clone - but it now has tens of millions of users. Despite obvious similarities to Facebook, there is one significant difference from the U.S. in how Renren and other Chinese SNS are used. The bread and butter of these sites is social games using virtual items. Indeed, Farmville originated in China! In this first post of a series, we outline the most popular social network sites in China.

Attack of the Facebook clones: Russia's Vkontakte

International ripoffs of successful web companies can be found everywhere , from Frazr, the German Twitter clone , to Digg Malaysia , the Malaysian clone of the news-ranking site Digg. Not to be outdone, the Russian social network Vkontakte (or “virtual contact”) has copied Facebook’s look and feel almost exactly — not to mention its growth rate. See Alexa graph and screenshot gallery, below. Copying Facebook has already turned out to be lucrative in other countries.
