One of the regular topics that comes-up when I’m discussing the potential of online
social networks with fundraisers from outside the UK is just which social networks
are dominant in their particular country. Because, contrary to how it might feel
from the UK or US perspective, when you go further afield the Social Network world
doesn’t start and end with Facebook.

 

So, I’m always on the look-out for data which helps shed some light on the relative
strengths of different sites across different countries – and two such sources cropped-
up over the last couple of days that I thought you might find useful, wherever you
happen to be based.
