Facebook Users from India Touches 31 Million, Now Becomes The Fastest Growing Country!




When Google Plus was released, we saw the numbers, which showed that after USA, it was India that added to the most of the population on Google’s social networking platform. And now with Facebook, Indian users once again show how facebook have become part of their lives in just about two years. Indian userbase on facebook have grown from a few millions to 31 millions as of August 2011 and has become the fastest growing country on facebook, also making it the third largest user community on facebook, only next to USA and Indonesia.



The credit goes to an IT educated youth crowd (which forms major part of the population) and rapid internet penetration, especially with the advent of mobile internet.


I recently see video done by CNN, where it shows the popularity of Facebook among Indian youth.
