Blown away! Any idea why Brazil is the 2nd largest user of Twitter and has such a huge geo footprint? Was not expecting that, also Indonesia being 3rd is crazy as well.
Brazil is huge. It is the fifth largest country by population in the world.
US has roughly 320m people; Brazil has roughly 201m. Plus Brazil has high Internet penetration. US has roughly 250m with Internet access; Brazil has roughly 100m.
Brazil has one of the largest populations and the largest number of people with Internet access. Also Brazil is a major world economy.
So the real question is why China and India don't have more Twitter users. China I understand because Sina Weibo is more popular there. I don't know about India. Is there an Indian social network that is more popular? I suppose part of it might be that Portuguese and Indonesian use the Latin alphabet whereas Chinese and Hindi do not.
Indonesia currently have a very big "relationship" with twitter as more people are getting smartphones everyday.
And getting stuck in traffic would contribute to a lot of tweeting. FYI, Indonesian more people access YouTube from phones than other countries compared to the pc web version, at least in South East Asia.
wait too much word. I mean compared to other countries, a bigger portion of Indonesian people access YouTube through their phones than "traditional" computers
