If you ever wondered if China was the upcoming superpower

21 03 2008

A study recently done by comScore highlights that right now only 23% of the web users are from the US. In 1996 this used to be 66%. The upcoming country obviously is China. Although the US still has the largest absolute number of internet users (162 million), China already has 96 million. But more interestingly maybe is that in China (and other emerging countries), they main websites visits are not the ones we all know, such as Google or Yahoo. No in those countries homegrown websites have the most users.

So in the future Google might be just a small company :-)
