Brazil


The number of internet users in Mexico grew 14% between August 2008 and August 2009 and now totals 13 million. Microsoft has more unique users every month than Google, and Mexico isn't the only country where Google doesn't dominate.  The two leading sites in Brazil, with an online population of 31 million, are locally-owned.

The popularity of social networks also varies by country.  Facebook is the 3rd most popular site in Argentina but doesn't make the top 20 in Brazil.  Did Facebook's delay in translating its content to Portuguese make it irrelevant in a large, fast growing market like Brazil?

An incredible 90% of the population in 6 Latin American countries and Puerto Rico are users of social networking sites.  The data, included in a recent study from comScore (www.emarketer.com/Article.aspx) do not reflect usage via cell phones.  Given that there are 140 million cell phone users in Brazil and 76 million in Mexico, the percentage of Latin Americans on social networking sites is most likely higher than shown here.

 

The largest network in Brazil is Orkut, which is owned by Google, while Hi5 dominates in much of the rest of the region.  Facebook is growing quickly, thanks to its launch in Spanish early in 2008.
