Another 'first' for Singapore: Most time on Facebook

Whether or not they're hitting the "Like" button, it's clear Singaporeans love Facebook

Is he really working on a spreadsheet? Or just finding out who's changed their status to "It's Complicated."
It's official, Singaporeans "Like" Facebook.

According to a recent international study by Experian Hitwise, Singaporeans have been found to spend the longest time on Facebook, an average of 38 minutes and 46 seconds per session. Australia trailed behind in third place, spending an average of 26 minutes and 27 seconds, while India came in at seventh place at 20 minutes and 21 seconds.

The report also found that the Asia Pacific region was ahead of other parts of the world, with users spending a total average time of 116 minutes 5 seconds on Facebook per session.

Compared to the total average time of 82 minutes and 31 seconds per session spent by users in Britain, the United States, France and Brazil, it's clear Asians are glued to Facebook.

The study also found that Singapore ranked second (16.4 percent) when it came to responding to social networks and forums, lagging behind Brazil which topped out at 18.9 percent.

So the next time your colleague moans about having to work late, ask him/her how much time they've spent on Facebook during the workday.
