STUDY: Facebook dominates in Middle East
While Twitter might have gotten most of the social media attention during the Arab Spring, Facebook now has a greater impact in the Middle East.
According to a study by Northwestern University in Qatar and the Doha Film Institute, the use of Twitter is now coming in a far second place to Facebook. Facebook is the most popular social network in the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region, used by nearly twice as many internet users as Twitter.
The “Entertainment Media Use in the Middle East” survey represented 6,035 face-to-face interviews in the countries of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia and the United Arab Emirates.
More than 90 percent of internet users are on Facebook in five of the six countries covered in this study.
