Seven Languages Grow, Three Hold Steady on Facebook in June 2010

I personally only market in English, but this is an important indicator of Facebook's global influence. I do think it is surprising that French is not higher, since it is the most widely used language in the world. I would love to see statistics on the penetration of the internet overall into different language markets. There are two possible explanations: 1) Facebook just doesn't have that great of a foothold in non-English-speaking countries; 2) French is more widely spoken in countries that do not have access to or do not widely use the internet. Great research project for "someday" when I have an hour to kill. Or...someone could stop by and share a source with those statistics (hint, hint).
