for Mr. Courtines…its because the middle class in the Philippines is increasing , thus more can avail laptop, and internet connection, every mall, bar , resto, even gas stations are Wifi ready, and all u need is a broadband, then u can surf the net, anywhere u are, even on the island of boracay..plus, Philippines is d no.1 & still d no.1 Friendster user in d world, just like me ,we are bored w/ FS, so we shift to facebook bec. of applications…esp. mafia, farmville, brain buddies..etc..this is not bec, were getting online for d first time..ok dude….peace bro!!!

I think one of the biggest factors for the growth of this services are the way they can integrate to other sites.

Ronny, I am not at all confused. What I am doing is using the commonly-understood names for each country.

But, of course, if one is in the PRC, you might not recognize the ROC as a country in the first place.

It is beyond the scope of this site to explore these issues much further.

I would concur with this data and that some of the big facebook games may be driving this growth.
Following Google Trends Insights and searching for Farmville, or Pet Society, one will notice that on the location map layover the most active nations on in the pacific rim. Especially the Phillipeans.
I am not sure if something has changed in those countries or whether people are simply getting online for the first time. I can imagine would it would be like to get online for the first time today. It would be like landing on new planet with giant cities already built!

A lot of Taiwanese go to grad school in the US. Quite a few make it to Europe as well. There are also a lot of people like me, international students in TW. Also Taiwanese love to do anything but work at work,e.g. play Farmville.
