There has been a general rise in the usage of social networks around the world in the past few years. However, geographical groups vary when it comes to a comparison of how much time they spend on the social web. Israel emerges as the most active country, followed by Argentina and Russia. On a larger scale, it is the Latin Americans who are the biggest addicts of networking online in terms of time spent per user (7.6 hours in Oct 2011). In contrast, those in the Asia Pacific averaged under 3 hours. Today, 50% of the 10 most socially-engaged countries are located in LatAm (comScore).
