The Rise Of The Facebook Empire
Compared with its 2007 predecessor, the freshly released map of social networks looks more like a portrait of international domination than a window into a hotly contested global battle. Just look at the spread of Facebook’s blue territory! Western Europe, once entirely up for grabs, has been steamrolled by Mark Zuckerberg’s robot armies. The Facebook emperor is also making impressive headway into South America and Africa, where his network was once a non entity.
The once mighty imperial powers of MySpace, Friendster and LiveJournal – stop your snickering – have been entirely vanquished. Just four years agos, these guys – and even Bebo! – looked fearsome. “A dominant local site such as Orkut in Brazil,” we wrote in 2007 , “can hold off the competition because it’s the default, and nobody wants to migrate to another site, however much more advanced, if their friends won’t follow.” Well, Orkut’s lost India, and Brazil is Facebook’s fastest growing market . All that’s left, really, are China and Russia, two notoriously hard places to do business that seem destined to be dominated by local insurgents. It’s probably time for Facebook to shift to a containment strategy.

World Map of Social Networks - Gene De Libero's posterous
Since December 2010 Zuck’s creature has conquered Iran and Syria , although struggling against censorship. Europe has now became the largest continent on Facebook with 205 million users (Facebook Ads Platform).
Probably Netherlands and Brazil will be the next countries to surrender . According to Alexa Facebook is already the leader there, but Google Trends shows a different picture (I will change my map when the two sources will say the same).
To put this infographic on your web site, just copy and paste the HTML code below: I’ve decided to drop Many Eyes and redesign the map in order to give each social network a fixed colour to ease comparability over time. Below you will find an updated version plus an infographic poster of all changes since June 2009.
Zuckerberg’s creature continues to gain users around the world (almost 600 millions). Since June 2010 Facebook has stolen new important nations from local, previously strong, competitors (in 115 out of 132 countries analyzed it is market leader) especially in Europe . In particular:
- From Iwiw: Hungary
- From Nasza-Klasa: Poland
- From Hi5: Mongolia
- From Orkut (Google): Paraguay and India. Orkut remains the first social network in Brasil.
In Japan Mixi is still the most used web-based social network (Ameba that I previously mentioned it’s not a pure social networking site, but also a portal/blog-hosting provider). But if we look to mobile social networks usage the leader is Gree followeb by Mobage Town. [edited thanks to the insights from Akky Akimoto ]

- From Hi5: Thailand, Romania, Peru, Portugal. Hi5 resists in Mongolia where the situation is unclear.
