As the last remaining 5 top social networks in the world, these 5 social networks are at least dominant in one country. They were Facebook, QQ space, V Kontakte, Odnoklassniki and Cloob.
According to the news, the latest edition of the Global social networking map, published by Social media observer Vincenzo Cossenza Vincenzo Cosenza, is the last of the top 5 social networking sites in the world. 127 of the 137 countries that have been tracked by Alexa, the site's ranking site, have been under Facebook's control.
Every year in June and December, Cosenza updates its global social network map to showcase one of the country's most popular social networking services. According to an update released last December by Cosenza, the world's top social networks currently have only 5 left. Facebook's social networking service dominates 127 countries in the 137 countries that Alexa tracks.
Facebook's dominance is not surprising, and the social-networking giant now has more than 1 billion active monthly subscribers, of which 600 million are mobile users. Facebook is facing severe challenges in some countries, and it is hard for the social networking giant to beat some of its most popular competitors in the country because its services are inaccessible in these countries.
But the continuation of Facebook's dominance has largely benefited from the growth of Asian users. Facebook's advertising platform shows that the social networking giant has 278 million users in Asia, and has recently overtaken Europe's 251 million to become the first continent of Facebook's users.
Facebook has 243 million users in North America, 142 million in South America, around 52 million in Africa and only 15 million in Oceania. 2012, Facebook became the largest social networking site in Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia and Vietnam.
Last December's "Global Social Network map" shows that there are only 5 top social networks left in the world, the 5 social networks that dominate at least one country. They were Facebook, QQ space, V Kontakte, Odnoklassniki and Cloob. In the Russian-speaking country, V Kontakte is fighting off Odnoklassniki, mainly thanks to its 190 million registered users. QQ space is dominant in Asian countries, the user reached 552 million. In Iran, Cloob has replaced Facebook because of censorship, which Facebook now has difficulty accessing.
Recalling Cossenza's "Global Social Network Map", in June 2009, the world's top social networking network also had 17, reduced to 16 in December, June 2010 to 14, December to 11, June 2011 to 9, and December to 6; Increased to 7 in June 2012 and reduced to 5 in December. Social networking Drauglem and Zing were defeated by V Kontakt and Facebook respectively.
