This weekend I put together a report on social-media use by country, applications used and use, time spent on-line and demographics. Among other reference sources, I referred to Socialbakers.Com, which I find to be one of the best sources of free data on-line. the top 10 countries by LinkedIn users made for interesting reading, along with the comparison with Facebook numbers. Any surprises in this list for you?
