Friendster Up 40%: More Web 2.0 Cake For Everyone

Newsflash: Other countries besides the U.S. use the Internet!!! Who would have thought?

Techcrunch put out a good article today explaining why social media continues and will continue to grow over the next several years.

Secondly, the overall market is growing. As noted in the Venturebeat article Friendster is experiencing rapid growth in Malaysia and the Philippines. There is a market place outside of the United States; only 4.53% of the world’s population lives in the United States (wikipedia), China will have more broadband users than the United States in the next 12-18 months and India has the largest number of English speaking people of any country worldwide. Smart startups build products that appeal to a global audience, an audience which provides a wealth of growth opportunities at much higher rates than in a mature marketplace such as the United States.

As sites are developed and marketing plans created we need to remember that the Unites States population is just small fraction of the world, and that there are a lot of potential customers across the big pond, as well as north and south of us.
