The 10 Fastest Growing European Countries, as Facebook Nears 100M Across Region
Europe now has close to 100 million Facebook users, having gained 5.92 million over the course of September to reach 98.2 million monthly actives, according to our latest Global Monitor report, based on stats from Facebook. So the continent, as a whole, has more Facebook users than the United States’ 88.3 million monthly actives.
Here’s a closer look at the top 10 fastest-growing countries in Europe. Turkey, assuming one considers it part of Europe (we do, for these purposes), grew the most. The country gained 1.07 million users, an 8% gain to reach 14.5 million total. The United Kingdom is still the largest Facebook country in Europe, with 20.6 million monthly actives. But it grew relatively slowly, adding nearly 300,000 users. In other countries, Facebook grew at impressive double-digit rates per month in September.

First of all, your calculation is wrong. Something growing fast or slow means doesn’t mean how many users it added total, but it means the growth rate. So Turkey isn’t the one who grows fastest but Austria according to this table you’ve given here.
Secondly, Turkey is a part of Europe for years. Being not a member of the EU doesn’t mean you are not a part of Europe. I’m very angry to your comment above.

These stats do seem strange. I find it hard to believe Russia has less than 1M users at facebook to not make this list. That or I have hugely underestimated impact of vkontakte, which is almost a byte-for-byte clone but russian-language only until recently…

Ata, first of all, I only said that Turkey “grew the most,” which is perfectly accurate in this context.
Second of all, as I’m sure you know, Turkey can be classified both as a part of the Europe and as a part of Asia. The way Facebook recognizes the country, it is a part of Europe (however, Russia, also located in both areas, is considered by Facebook to be a part of Asia). My only point was to recognize this ambiguity. Which is perfectly appropiate to do in this case.

Eric, you said Turkey grew the most that’s right. But the headline is “The 10 Fastest Growing” and Turkey is No. 1 in that table am I wrong? That’s what I said was wrong here. For the other part, if Facebook takes Russia as an Asian country that’s their bad, for me they are also a part of Europe and are participating to each European competitions (Olympics, football championships, music contest etc.)

Hi Ata,
Thanks for the response. I certainly meant no offense to Turkey!
And, have a suggested rephrasing for the headline? :)
