India, Brazil, Egypt Among Countries With Most New Facebook Users in April 2011

Continuing trends we’ve seen growing over the past year, Asian and Latin American countries gained the most Facebook users in the world during April, with India leading the way, according to data from our Facebook traffic measurement service, Inside Facebook Gold.

There are now nearly 25 million Facebook users in the country of 1.16 billion people, an increase of 1.78 million from the start of last month. Facebook appears to be reaching the wealthier, more networked parts of the country — its mobile efforts, like the free Zero data service, could help it grow across much more of the country in the years to come.

Having reached around half the total populations in Europe and North America, Facebook had slower growth in these regions.
