fake survey, facebook got first ranked in pakistan. it beat even google and youtube. he is not leading social networking only also topped in all ranking . prove is alexa ranking
Every single internet user in Pakistan visits Facebook pages hundreds of times in a month.
I don't think that Facebook is going to grow older with the passage of time.
Facebook is a page-book for the young, middle-age and elderly people at the same time.
Any one who has not made his or her page on the Facebook is believed that he or she has not born as yet in the world.
There are about 1 million LinkedIn Pakistani users (Jan 2012 LinkedIN demographics), one of the highest in Asia after India and top in Middle East.
I would be interested in what is usage of "Millat Facebook" ?
Oh wait, we don't trust these Western ranking agencies trying to give our country a bad name, its a conspiracy to malign our youth.... we stand by "millat-facebook".
whatever happened to the once burning religious sentiments? and millat facebook or whatever it is called??
and in other earth shattering news, roti is the most common bread in pakistan!
What??? I thought Twitter is most popular after Facebook but even Google Plus is more popular than Twitter....SHOCKING..
