Excellent information on:
"Latest Facebook usage statistics by country - 12 months of extraordinary global growth"
I am one of the prolific users of FACEBOOK (Perhaps the most active and popular).
I find FACEBOOK the best Social Network media. Unlike TWITTER (I am also a user) Facebook allows lengthy comments and articles.
