Malaysian addicts

12 Oct 2010 - So ... , in a few days I will move to Malaysia. What to say about my new homeland? The BBC published the results of a study that indicate that Malaysians are the worlds most serious social networks addicts. The BBC reported that a TNS report revealed that - on average - Malaysians have the highest number of "friends" on online social networks. The report found that Malaysian have on average 233 friends, with fellow Asian nation Japan at the bottom of the list with only 29 friends. China also scored low with only 69 friends, but then again China has a lot of people who are not yet active on the internet. The TNS report also revealed that Malaysians spend on average nine hours per week on social network platforms - another world record. Malaysians spend more time on Facebook, Twitter and others than on e-mail, and the possibility to have mobile internet connection greatly enhanced their participation. I just checked and I have more than 350 Facebook friends, so I will fit in nicely.
