The Global Audience is Vital to Top Properties ■ Though they are all based in the United States, the Top 15 Global properties source the majority of their audience from outside the U.S. However, the top global sites’ appeal to the Asian Pacific audience is below average ■ Global sites’ ability to develop or acquire local channels is important to international growth, but is crucial in this region ■ Tencent, Inc., the parent property of the very popular Instant Messenger application QQ, is the first Asian property to break into the Top 15. However, almost all of its traffic comes from Asia, particularly from mainland China.

Concentrated strongholds for certain local SNs … and Facebook almost everywhere else Top Social Networks
■ Language considerations gave local Social Networks in certain countries an early-mover advantage ■ Switching costs for Social Networking users are relatively high, and the nature of user recruitment (“friending”) lets these sites maintain concentrated strongholds ■ Elsewhere, translation efforts by Facebook have allowed it to enter nonEnglish-speaking Asian markets, and to overtake Friendster, which initially had a strong presence in Southeast Asia

Summary of Key Findings Asia Pacific is the dominant regional audience and will be critical in the global Internet competition
Web penetration will continue to increase in emerging markets within Asia, and even in markets where web usage is well-established, increased broadband adoption will drive additional consumption
Though Yahoo!, Google, MSN and other U.S. brands currently lead the Top Property rankings in this region, there are a host of local sites that are already carving out regional niches, and are poised to take market share
Internet usage is distinct by market – High broadband penetration drives increased Entertainment usage in Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore – Social Networks in China, India, Korea, and Japan are holding Facebook off – for now. Elsewhere,
Facebook has overtaken Friendster and MySpace to be the dominant SN in the region – E-commerce and online shopping is still in its infancy in Asia
In this extremely diverse region, effective localization is critical: a strong global brand is not sufficient for success. Language is important, but understanding and catering to the online and offline culture is important as well
