                                              Putting the results into context
                                              To help provide a more complete picture,
                                              the analysis in this report puts the results
                                              into context in two ways;
               23 China                       1. Market by market universe estimates

                                              Both these figures are estimates based on
     21                                       the above universe sizes. When estimating
                     24                       global usage figures of different social media

                                              technologies we make the fair assumption
                                              that the vast majority of users will be active
          22
                               28             users and between the ages of 16-54.

                                              How	did	we	get	to	these	universe	figures?	

                                              Local market data from TGI, Simmons or
                                              equivalent provided penetration figures for
                                              16-54s by market and levels of active usage.
                                              These were correlated with Internet World
                                              Stats, CIA World Factbook and Comscore.

                                    29        The general rule is the more developed a
                                              market is, the higher in home and at work
                                              internet connections are, which leads to
                                              higher levels of active usage.

Reading blogs: usage trends
Blogging shows no signs of slowing its growing prominence in popular culture and society.

Politicians, celebrities, brands and family members all seem to have one. Traditional media outlets use them to supplement their normal

every niche imaginable. The result is a massive wealth of new sources of information that we continue to digest.

Every market is representative of the 16-54 Active Internet Universe. In this Wave 17,000 internet users in 29 countries were interviewed.

Market by market universe estimates 61m 26 27 2. Penetration of usage among all 16-54s. Both these figures are estimates based on 21 the above universe sizes. When estimating 24 global usage figures of different social media 25 technologies we make the fair assumption that the vast majority of users will be active 22 28 users and between the ages of 16-54. How did we get to these universe figures? Local market data from TGI, Simmons or equivalent provided penetration figures for 16-54s by market and levels of active usage. These were correlated with Internet World Stats, CIA World Factbook and Comscore. 29 The general rule is the more developed a market is, the higher in home and at work internet connections are, which leads to higher levels of active usage.
