Google’s social network, orkut, has long been dominated by Brazilian’s. I’ve known this for quite some time but I was shocked when I looked at orkut’s demographics breakdown today. Why? I think the numbers speak for themselves:

country
Brazil: 62.06%
United States: 10.89%
Iran: 7.58%
Pakistan: 2.89%
India: 2.51%
Canada: 1.21%
Estonia: 1.16%
United Kingdom: 1.15%
Japan: 1%
Germany: 0.65%

Another interesting orkut demographics fact:

52.16% of orkut members are single but only 17.16% of them said they were interested in dating.

Sure orkut isn’t a dating network but you’d think that percentage would be higher.
