The UK: Facebook English Speaking Demographics

May 18, 2010

Welcome back, blokes and birds, to the third installment of our Facebook English Speaking Demographic Series. While our own Marty Weintraub and Merry Morud kick it in the land of tea and crumpets, we’ll be diving into some intense Facebook segments and user inventory, from sexuality to cocktails, Spice Girls to blue collar trades and everything in between. Hold onto your bowler hats and petticoats… we’re off to the United Kingdom!

But before we do, to help put our research in a more global context we invite you to check out this Population Graph that shows where Facebook English Speaking users are located. The chart includes recent Facebook member stats pulled from the top 60 countries that name English as an official language. As of May 18th, 2010, 25,909,280 of those members were located in the UK. Let’s see how they break down, shall we?
