The Brazilian government has spearheaded rapid development in internet connectivity, resulting in broadband adoption going from In this report: virtually nothing to connecting 88 per cent of the population • Social Networks in the last five years.

Further reports due Q3 2012 International Guide to Social Media Brazil Social Networks Until very recently, the dominant social network in Brazil was Google’s Orkut. It may have failed to catch on in other markets, but its popularity exploded in Brazil when Google translated its social network into Portuguese in 2005. Just over a year ago, Forbes reported that 90 per cent of Orkut’s page views came from Brazil, with comScore reporting that an average of 31.2 million visitors logged in from Brazil in 2010. What’s more, Orkut is still growing – very slightly (it had 5 per cent more visitors in 2011, from 2010). However, with the increasing adoption of Facebook in Brazil, some have been complaining about Orkut’s functionality. Specifically the limit on friend numbers, photo sharing issues and problems with discussing topics. Although Facebook officially overtook Orkut as the most popular social network in Brazil as of December 2011, Orkut remains incredibly popular in the country, prompting Hootsuite to integrate with the network in April 2012. “Facebook had a banner year in Brazil in 2011, with over 51 million users making it second only to the US in terms of users” Until recently, logging on to Facebook from Brazil was so rare that in 2009 user numbers couldn’t even be measured. But 2011 has been a banner year for Facebook in Brazil - it had a 192 per cent increase in unique visitors between December 2010 and 2011, making Brazil the second largest user of Facebook at 51,174,300 users. (USA is in first place with 155,7070,160 users, and India in third with 49,807,020.) Time spent on Facebook also increased from an average of 37 minutes at the end of 2010 to 4.8 hours in December 2011, making Facebook the most engaging social network in Brazil. Facebook users are mainly concentrated in two of the major cities, with over 34 per cent from São Paulo and over 12 per cent from Rio de Janeiro. The majority of users are between the ages of 15 and 24. As a nation, Brazil’s economic power is growing, giving Brazilians more disposable income and extra leisure time to spend it – as with other slower take-up regions such as Japan, some say that the release of the film The Social Network helped boost Facebook’s popularity. (Another factor worth mentioning is the ability to see certain Facebook pages without having to first create an account. Orkut forces people to sign up before they can see it in action, Facebook lets surfers have a sneak peek first.) International Guide to Social Media Brazil Social Networks Despite Facebook’s astronomic assentation to the top of the social media chain in Brazil, comScore report that 87 per cent of social media users are keeping their Orkut profiles, as well as their new Facebook ones. (How long they will do this however, is another matter.) Google may continue pushing Orkut in Brazil, but Google+ is also gaining users in the country. Google hosted Brazil’s first official Hangout in November 2011, and since then Brazil has become the nation with the third highest number of Google+ users – although at just over 5 per cent, it’s still some way behind the USA which makes up almost 31.5 per cent of Google+ users. Datadial estimates that nearly 70 per cent of Brazil’s Google+ users are those in the 18 to 24 age range. Business networking site LinkedIn launched its Portuguese site in 2010, and opened its São Paulo office in late 2011, by which time it had around 6 million users in Brazil. Membership grew 91.6 per cent in the year after launching in Brazil’s native language. Blogging is a very popular medium in Brazil, reaching an 80 million strong audience in Q1 2012. In fact, Brazil has the world’s largest blogging audience, according to comScore, with a 96 per cent reach amongst Brazilian internet users. Tumblr is currently very popular: user numbers increased by 206 per cent between December 2010 and 2011, and quantcast lists Brazil as the second most represented country on Tumblr, with 10,763,475 unique users. Tumblr recently launched localised options for Brazil with meet-up events in Curitiba, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo. Twitter has around 33.3 million users in Brazil, which is the country with the second highest user numbers worldwide (behind the USA and ahead of Japan in third place and the UK in forth). There are still, however, more messages per account in Japan than Brazil. Again, Twitter is still growing, and increased user numbers by 40 per cent between December 2010 and 2011. “When American singer/songwriter Nicki Minaj tweeted about a future trip to Brazil @visitbrazil told her not to bother” Twitter is widely used by journalists to distribute news, and its popularity has been cited as a major factor in the rise of hacktivism in Brazil. There have been various Twitter scandals: the Brazilian government sued Twitter for hosting accounts that warned of speed camera traps; a law student was jailed for 17 months for tweeting that everyone in the North of the country should be killed for voting for the current President; and when American singer/songwriter Nicki Minaj tweeted about a future trip to Brazil, the tourism account @visitbrasil told her not to bother. International Guide to Social Media Brazil Social Media Social gaming Social gaming is very popular in Brazil, with the market predicted to be worth $238 million by 2014, with a user base of 52.3 million people. Crucially, 95 per cent of Brazilians only play these games in Portuguese, something that foreign developers should note before designing an Orkut game without localisation. Social games have been harder to monetise in Brazil as a result of comparatively limited credit card use, but Brazilian gaming developers are starting to use micro- payments, provided by companies like Tutudo, to break this barrier. Mentez is one of the largest social gaming companies in Latin America. As of February 2012 it published four out of the top five popular games on Orkut Brazil. Its total user base spans around 22 million active users per week. Another social gaming company, Vostu, has around 3.5 million monthly active users, gaining 338 per cent more visitors between December 2010 and 2011. Its long running legal battle with gaming giant Zynga has put a dent in the company’s profits, but it’s still growing despite the challenge. CEO Daniel Kafie has predicted that the worldwide social gaming advertising market will reach $1.6 billion USD by the end of 2012. “The social gaming market in Brazil is predicted to be worth $238 million by 2014, with over 52 million users” Video Sites In December 2011 comScore reported that Brazilians viewed in excess of 4.7 billion videos online, which was an increase of 74 per cent on the previous year.

Meanwhile, the joint action announces legal action has been taken against Baidu and QVOD for compensation as high as RMB300 million. Representatives from more than a dozen Chinese and international film and television production companies attended the joint action announcement in Beijing. International attendees included the Motion Picture Association of America, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Warner Brothers, Disney and Paramount. Chinese attendees included the Capital Copyright Industry Alliance Capital Protection Division, the China Radio and Television Association of the Television Production Committee, and many Chinese production companies. "Since 2009, the video industry is facing a more severe anti-piracy situation," Sohu Group Chairman and CEO Charles Zhang said. "Especially when those big Internet companies with resource advantages participate in large-scale piracy. We cannot keep competing because where thieves and robbers are having their way, law-abiding companies cannot survive. We may even have to exit online video industry if such practices continue. Nobody will invest in content, and China's online video industry will face the sad situation as the music industry, which has already been destroyed by piracy, had faced before.

Our goal is to provide leaders in the commercial, public, and social sectors with the facts and insights on which to base management and policy decisions. MGI research combines the disciplines of economics and management, employing the analytical tools of economics with the insights of business leaders. Our “micro-to-macro” methodology examines microeconomic industry trends to better understand the broad macroeconomic forces affecting business strategy and public policy. MGI’s in-depth reports have covered more than 20 countries and 30 industries. Current research focuses on six themes: productivity and growth; the evolution of global financial markets; the economic impact of technology and innovation; urbanization; the future of work; and natural resources. Recent reports have assessed job creation, resource productivity, cities of the future, and the impact of big data. MGI is led by three McKinsey & Company directors: Richard Dobbs, James Manyika, and Charles Roxburgh. Susan Lund serves as director of research. Project teams are led by a group of senior fellows and include consultants from McKinsey’s offices around the world. These teams draw on McKinsey’s global network of partners and industry and management experts. In addition, leading economists, including Nobel laureates, act as research advisers.

  • The Impact of Social Networking in the UK
    The Impact of Social Networking in the UK Lead Analyst: Heather Hopkins, Hitwise UK Social networking cemented its status as a bona fide Internet phenomenon in 2007. The question for businesses taking a long, hard look at this trend is whether its growth is sustainable, and if so, how can it really support through-the-line marketing? This Experian-Hitwise report looks in detail at the key social networking learnings from 2007, the trends that are most likely to play out in 2008, and the critical areas that brands need to consider when developing their social media marketing strategies. Key insights and in-depth analysis of the social networking environment in the UK is provided by Robin Goad, Director of Research for Hitwise. Tony Mooney, Managing Partner at Experian ClarityBlue, the specialist consulting division at Experian Integrated Marketing, recommends the key areas to focus on in 2008 when looking to capitalise on the opportunities social media marketing presents. www.hitwise.co.uk www.experianim.com Section One: The Social Networking Landscape 1 What are social networks? Social networking websites are online communities of people who share interests and activities, or who are interested in exploring the interests and activities of others. They typically provide a variety of ways for users to interact, through chat, messaging, email, video, voice chat, fi le-sharing, blogging, and discussion groups. Facebook, Bebo and MySpace are currently the most popular and well-known social networks in the UK, and all three appeared amongst the top 10 most-visited websites in the UK during November 2007, while ‘bebo’, ‘facebook’ and ‘myspace’ were also in the top 5 search terms in the UK during the same time period.
