Will Facebook set-up an office in the Philippines?
Jul 13
The latest comScore study is out and the latest data for May is staggering. Facebook is the top website that Filipinos visited in May 2010. What’s really surprising though is that according to the study 93% of all online users in the country logged in the site at least once for May, making the Philippines the following:
“the highest penetration of any global market for the social networking site.”
This makes you wonder if Facebook is ever going to set-up shop here in the Philippines. Friendster, Multiply, Yahoo, and Google have local representation already. Makes you wonder if Facebook will follow suit soon. Highlights of the press release after the break.
Top Destinations Vary Across Markets
An analysis of the most visited Internet properties in each of the 13 individual Asia-Pacific markets revealed differing brand preferences across countries. Google Sites led as the most-visited property in India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam, while Yahoo! Sites attracted the most visitors in Hong Kong, Japan and Taiwan. Microsoft Sites led the market in Australia reaching 93 percent of online users. Local entities topped the list in China and South Korea, with Tencent Inc. and NHN Corporation reaching the largest percentage of Internet users. In the Philippines, Facebook.com reigned as the most-visited destination reaching 93 percent of online users, the highest penetration of any global market for the social networking site.
