As if we needed to remind companies in Cyprus as to why they should be concentrating more and more effort into social media, but a study by the guys at Pingdom has proved that the country with most Facebook users as a percentage of total population is our lovely island of Cyprus.
With 553,900 users from Cyprus on the network, it brings us to the 92nd biggest population represented by the 800+ million users… but we do have the highest percentage of our population on Facebook.
The study also shows that there is 25% of the population that is on the internet but doesn’t have Facebook yet, allowing for future growth in the area.
According to their blog post:
(they) took SocialBaker’s data on how many Facebook users there are in countries around the world, data on Internet users from the World Bank, and population data from Wikipedia. [Source]

and differ from the penetration % shown on Social Bakers)
