Sarah Kessler, How The World Uses Social Networks
Social networks in every country might live on the same Internet, but  that doesn’t prevent differences in online customs and culture from  developing along geographic borders.
Ongoing market research service Global Web Index has mapped these differences in the infographic above (click it to enlarge).
The research, run by London-based consultancy Trendstream,  has conducted six waves of surveys about global consumer adoption of  the Internet and social media in 36 markets. It used data from its  February 2011 surveys of between 750 and 2,000 online users in each  market to define three behavior types: messagers, groupers and content  sharers.
In some countries, many of them Asian, most people were  focused on content sharing. Others, like the UK and Canada, had more  people who put a greater emphasis on sending messages.

Trendstream also used data from the survey to map social network penetration in each country that it surveyed.
