facebook penetrationWe are breaking a world record.

553.900 Cypriots have a presence on Facebook and this is the largest percentage worldwide in relation to the population of each country, announced yesterday the special website of social network analysis "Ringdom". Cyprus is at the top of the list of countries where Facebook is popular, which was published yesterday by the specialized website, a fact that was also international news… 

According to the relevant table, in Cyprus 75% of the population or 95% of those connected to the internet are present on Facebook. In fact, the rise of Cyprus in the first place of Facebook users in terms of population worldwide, is due to the rapid development of the use of the social network in our island in the last half of 2011.

Specifically, in the last six months, 71.480 people (natural and commercial) in Cyprus gained a presence on the Internet, based on the numerical and statistical data maintained and updated by the company SocialBaker, from where the numbers for the "Ringdom" list were obtained.

Also, for the ranking, the data for the population of each country based on Wikipedia were used, as well as the number of people connected to the Internet in each country based on the data of the World Bank.

For comparison purposes, it is reported that Hong Kong, Chile, Singapore and Norway occupy the 2nd to 5th places after Cyprus, while the USA is in the 7th place. It should be noted that from the source of the data for the use of Facebook, SocialBaker, we derive other very interesting data for the use of the popular - especially in Cyprus based on the data - social network.

Dominance of men in percentages

0% of those connected to Facebook in Cyprus are aged between 74 and 18 years. 44% are aged 16 to 13, 17% aged 45 to 54, and 6% aged 2-55. Another 64% of those who use Facebook in Cyprus, are retired, ie people aged 2 and over.

Still, although many of the users have a different impression, the majority of Facebook users in Cyprus are not women who may be more active in this medium - but men, since 56% of Facebook users are men and only 44 % women.
