Recently I have been to Estonia for a short vacation [1][2]. It is a country of about 1.356.000 citizens located in the north of Europe on the Baltic sea. Well the interesting thing is that Milan (Italy) itself has more inhabitants than whole Estonia and if you look at Orkut community Estonian users are about 0,44% of the total.
It has been written about "Orkut Brazilian invasion" [3], and about Estonia numbers in the same article "orkut has turned most popular in little Eastern-European country Estonia where a little more than 3% (June 2005) of the population are registered orkut users. Brazil holds the second place (about 2.5% of the population in the south east of the country)"
Estonian users are quite the same of Portugal (0.45%) users... but Portugal (more than 10.000.000 inhabitants) is about 8 times Estonia in terms of citizens. And what about Canada? Canada has about 30.000.000 citizens and in orkut it is around 0.53%.
Orkut users from Estonia are usually between the age of 17 and 23... thus, given the whole population [4] we have about 140.000 units in that range. A good part of them is in orkut... interesting...
