Internet connected
superpower. Indeed, China
ranks as the largest single Internet population in the world.
With some 179,710,000 users, or 17.8 percent of the global Internet
population, China scrapes ahead of the United States on 16.2 percent
with 163,300,000 Internet users.
North America is, however, beaten into third place when it comes to
regional share. While Asia-Pacific sits at the top of the tree with
that 41.3 percent share, it is Europe that comes in second on a 28
percent share while North America can only manage 18.4 percent.
Making up the numbers on a country by country basis are Japan
(59,993,000), Germany (36,992,000) and the United Kingdom
(36,664,000). Australia did not make the top 15 list.

totalled 777.9 million visitors in December 2008, followed by Microsoft
with 647.9 million visitors) and Yahoo! on 562.6 million. Facebook
finished in seventh place with 222 million visitors.
According to comScore CEO Magid Abraham "It is a monument to the
increasingly unified global community in which we live and reminds us
that the world truly is becoming more flat. The second billion will be
online before we know it, and the third billion will arrive even faster
than that, until we have a truly global network of interconnected
people and ideas that transcend borders and cultural boundaries."
