India is the second-most populous country with over 1.2 billion people and a burgeoning online community. It’s the also the world’s tenth largest economy, so we wanted to see how Indian Brands and India customer focussed Facebook pages penetrated the world’s largest social network.

Facebook Usage Breakdown by Country 2010

Posted By Struthers, November 9th, 2010

Facebook Usage is growing in every country, everywhere. We can all probably guess who the top nations are in terms of Facebook usage can’t we?

Which country has the most Facebook users 2010?

The USA has 127 million Facebook users and in second place the UK has 27.5 million Facebook users. So no surprises there.
