FRANCE
- In France, Copains d’Avant (a mix of Friends Reunited and Facebook) used to be the most popular social network before Facebook took over (it’s now the third most visited website in France).
- Twitter now has 15 million active users in the UK. However, one report highlights Italy, Spain and France as the Western European nations with the biggest spikes in active user numbers.
- LinkedIn has 13 million users in the UK, but it’s struggling in France, where home grown rival Viadeo notches up eight million users, to LinkedIn’s six million.
- Google+has more than 613,000 users in the UK, with Italy, Germany, Spain and France having between 426,000 and 341,000 Google+ users.
GERMANY
- A similar scenario has been playing out in Germany, where Facebook has virtually obliterated popular student social network StudiVZ. Facebook now has more than 22 million users in Germany.
- Google+has more than 613,000 users in the UK, with Italy, Germany, Spain and France having between 426,000 and 341,000 Google+ users. (repetitive)
