Facebook's World Domination Map Only Has a Couple of Big Holes, Russia and China

Facebook is closing in on one billion monthly active users. It's already the biggest website in the world in many places and by several metrics, page views, unique visitors and so on. Facebook dominates the space, social networking, even more than Google dominates search.

Still, there are some holdouts and topping them is going to be hard or impossible in some cases, for example, where the site is blocked in the country. The big places where Facebook still isn't market leader remain the same, China and Russia. Facebook is blocked in China, so local sites dominate, QZone is the biggest there, followed by Tencent Weibo and Sina Weibo, the latter two being similar to Twitter.

In Russia, the local players rule, VKontakte is the top player, followed by Odnoklassniki. But Facebook is already in third place, an improvement over previous years.
