Should add "in the English speaking world". Baidu, vkontakte, etc. have their own regional powers.

- CM30 11y agoThere's actually a few interesting stories there about how Facebook has been beating out quite a few of these regional networks in recent years. For example, they've unseated Mixi in Japan and Cyworld in South Korea: http://www.digitalintheround.com/japan-mixi-facebook/ http://www.digitalintheround.com/japan-mixi-facebook/ http://www.digitalintheround.com/south-korea-cyworld-facebook/ http://www.digitalintheround.com/south-korea-cyworld-faceboo... There are quite a few interesting stories like that, about how certain regionally popular services seem to be losing popularity compared to their international competitors.
- wodenokoto 11y ago> unseated Mixi in Japan I think it is debatable whether it was Facebook or Line that unseated Mixi. Looking at how my Japanese friends use their phones I would say it was Line.
