STUDY: Facebook use growing in emerging Asia

Facebook growth may have tapered off in the U.S., but it is booming elsewhere in the world. A recent study by Jana shows that Facebook users in emerging Asian countries such as India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam and the Philippines check the site constantly from their phones.

Jana polled more than 2,000 Facebook users in those countries, asking them about their usage and whether or not they’d use Facebook more often in the future.

When asked how often they check Facebook, more than 50 percent of people surveyed in Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines said they do so more than 5 times per day.

Many respondents also said they plan to use Facebook more often in the future.
