@Odile Beniflah
Fascinating and very clearly presented: thank you!
@worldbeat media
Useful insights - thanks for the clarity!

My friend's sister makes $85 every hour on the laptop. She has been fired from work for 9 months but last month her income was $7997 just working on the laptop for a few hours. Go to this web site and read more...MakeCash18.com.

Pretty crazy to think almost as many people are surfing facebook (and other social media) as they are the Internet in general...what they're not telling us is productivity at the workplace is probably dropping in direct proportion to the rise in social media surfing. Take me for example... j/k :)
@Rajit Khadgi
yeap .. productivity has highly dropped i think .. hmmm see it's exam time and i'm fbing :(
@Isaac O'Leary
HA! Funny you say that - There's actually studies that have shown as a whole, for every hour people spend on social media at work, 2 hours is spent at home doing work! Interesting ey - of course it depends on what industry you're in though!
@Constantine Antonakos
Numbers show we are social creatures! Or we just have a lot of time on our hands to spend online... ;)
@Dave Nattriss
Be careful not to compare 'users' with active users (daily or monthly). G+'s 65 MM sounds impressive but the majority tried it and rarely/never go back. Given how many users Google has overall, or even who use Gmail, it's not that big a number. Twitter has over 100 MM monthly active users now (Facebook is over 800 MM) - I suspect G+ is around 10 MM.
@Eric Rosser Eldon
This is all monthly uniques based on comScore's numbers. At least that's my read.
@Dave Nattriss
Eric Rosser Eldon - ah, so that means registered users who access sites from different machines/locations (mobile/work/home) can easily be double/triple counted?
@Eric Rosser Eldon
Dave Nattriss You should definitely take a closer look at comScore's methodology.
@Dave Nattriss
Eric Rosser Eldon - I did, thanks :-)
@Jack Hernandez
pretty awesome to see this and that people are using social media networking pages such as http://www.acade.me.
@Jeff Panikar
Nice way to spam!
@David Perlmutter
Incredible insights - 82% of all Internet users are on social networks [read=Facebook].
@Matt Varga
Shows how addicting it has become. Considering the average American spends 8 hours a day in front of some screen.
@Peter Austin
No they aren't. You wouldn't say that 82% of Internet users were on drugs, if the truth was merely that they had used one drug, at least once in the past.
@Nars Samuy
Philippines users avg 8.7 hrs/month..crazy.
@Alfons Boltjes
What about close relations, people taking care, safety is always and only yours, privacy settings, long lasting, for ever, without all former faults, mistakes etc....
@Manish Sharma
Ever since Tech Crunch has faced an exodus of people. Its not the same place - an unscientific study shows that engagement level has fallen dramatically. Wonder what they are doing about it.
@Yvan Morkovic
What's happening with Japan? Only 58%. Is society so fundamentally different or what? I can understand China's 53% - it's internet usage directly or indirectly shaped by tight government regulation's and because of that numbers incomparable to others. But Japan puzzles me.
@Manu Singhal
highly inflated figures.. wrong data ,, definitely for India.....
@Patrick Wagner
5-7 years back many people thought the Internet was slowing down especially when it comes to quality content & what else could be said. Content has become smaller and smaller allowing more people to share their content with and all from their Smartphone. Mobile browsing is push the content creation tsunami currently happening.
@Ryan Swearingen
Does anyone know if this data includes interaction with SM from OTHER sites via Like/Share buttons, etc? At this point, I'm not sure social and non-social internet usage can cleanly be separated anymore. It's nearly ALL social now. Even reading reviews on Amazon could be considered interacting socially, no?
