Non-US users helping valuations of Facebook, Twitter soar

Nearly every other day you get to read something about Facebook & Twitter. Here goes one more article!

For a change non-US users are contributing big time to these two internet giants. Recently Facebook opened their office in Hyderabad [photos], will Twitter follow? Not anytime soon.

With increase in internet penetration across the world, I guess these sites are able to attract a lot more users than from US. The following table is a tabular version of the graph I came across today.

Facebook Twitter
Total Users 500 m 106 m
People are aware 88% 87%
Login Everyday 41% 27%
Update their status everyday 12% 52%
Access via mobile device 30% 37%
Follow a brand 40% 25%
Brand followers will purchase that specific brand 51% 67%
Users Located outside the US 70% 60%
Valuation $41.2 b $3.7 b

With such valuations it is hardly a tweet, it is a loud ROAR!
