Social networks are becoming always more part of the lives of many people around the world. This is particularly true for some countries. Recent data from comScore’s World Metrix audience measurement service show that Russia and Brazil had the most engaged social networking audiences in the world in May. In comparison, the U.S. only achieved the ninth place.
According to the data, the average Russian spent over 6.6 hours in May using online social networks, and viewed over 1,300 pages. The typical Brazilian networker dedicated slightly less time at 6.3 hours and viewed 1,220 pages.
