Worldwide Use of Social Media

We researched the global utilization of social media - specifically looking at Facebook, Linked-In and Twitter, since the WTC is active on those sites and has international connections on all three. Here are some findings as of August 2010:

• LinkedIn has 70 million members in over 200 countries
• 50% of LinkedIn users are outside the US
• Over 500 million Facebook users
• 70% of Facebook users are outside the US
• Over 60% of registered Twitter accounts are outside the US
