Colombians with nothing better to do, Facebook Carelibro

Out of the countries that speaks "Español" Colombia has the mayor number of participants on Facebook, that I don´t consider it a good news at all.

I am sure at least 30% of those in Colombia do enter FaceBook from work.

En Facebook, Colombia es líder iberoamericano con 2,7 millones de usuarios


Las redes sociales como Facebook sirven de enlace entre amigos y familiares. Sus usuarios pueden saber qué está ocurriendo en la vida de sus seres más cercanos con solo ingresar y consultar perfil.

Colombia supera a México, España y Brasil, países que tienen mayor población y penetración en los servicios de banda ancha.


El dato fue revelado por Andrew Lipsman, analista de la firma ComScore, justo cuando Facebook presentó su nueva apariencia ante sus cibernáutas.

Lipsman también reveló que esta red social se convirtió en el sitio en Internet con más visitantes únicos (137 millones al mes).

Have you got nothing better to do other than writing about people with nothing better to do other than writing on Facebook? Just kidding Webman. I don´t see anything wrong with it to be honest as i´ve just found some Colombian people living in my home city in England, if they had something better to do i wouldn´t have found them.

"paulr threatens me with death !" pobrecito

Facebook is a tool which can be used for good or bad. To condemn it out of hand is a bit like condemning postal services in principle.

More interesting therefore is to find out who uses it and what they use it for.

I use Facebook myself and, for example, I have noticed there is more awareness in Colombia of a number of green and ecological issues than in other American countries.

It would also be interesting to see what gender balance there is among the Colombian Facebook users.

I initially looked at Facebook to find out what this new social networking phenomenon was all about. I am pleased to see that Colombians are also in the vanguard of such modern trends.

Facebook is very effective for networking and disseminating information. It is seriously useful as well as having a handy social function. I have seen at first hand how some young Colombians have benefited from using it. It has an educational as well as a social value for them. It is a good way to expand one's horizons.
