Comment on Glio (YC S13) Aims To Be The “Yelp of Brazil” And Beyond in Latin Americaparent

I wonder how much penetration Facebook has in Brazil.

There are a lot of interesting statistics on Brazil's Facebook usage here (http://www.quintly.com/blog/2013/03/facebook-country-statist...).

Essentially, they say that Brazil is overall second in number of Facebook users and that as of March 35% of people are on the service (vs 50.76% in the US.) Unfortunately, the post doesn't explicitly say what the ranking is for the per capita percentage, which would be most interesting for this thread.

Also, they have almost doubled the number of users over a one year period (which started a little after Facebook surpassed Orkut [which has always been famous for having a huge Brazillian presence.])
