Australia: the #1 Social Networking Country in the World! (Economist)

[BuzzNumbers]

In a special report on social networking in The Economist, the fact that Australians are leading the way in the number of hours people around the world are spending on social networking sites: Since February 2009 they have been spending more time on social-networking sites than on e-mail, and the lead is getting bigger. Measured by hours spent on them per social-network user, the most avid online networkers are in Australia, followed by those in Britain and Italy (see chart 2). Last October Americans spent just under six hours surfing social networks, almost three times as much as in the same month in 2007.
