That’s a lot of blogging/commenting! Now, granted, that’s like 2% of the total population… but still impressive.

Granted, this was over a year ago, but even then, only half of DAILY Internet users knowing what YouTube is is sort of surprising. However, Odnoklassniki and vKontake are quite popular.
