Worldwide stats for social media usage

I have been trying to find a reliable comparison of social media usage around the world for a while. This is the best that I have found....

The data comes from 2 sources - econsultancy and Jeff Bullas. That is because I cannot find econsultancy data for 2012 (if it exists, please someone send me a link!). The Jeff Bullas data is the 2012 stats. The rest is from econsultancy...

Facebook:

Sep 2009 - 250m

Mar 2010 - 350m

Mar 2011 - 640m

Mar 2012 - 901m

Twitter:

Sep 2009 - 10m

Mar 2010 - 75m

Mar 2011 - 175m

Mar 2012 - 465m

Linked IN:

Sep 2009 - 49m

Mar 2010 - 50m

Mar 2011 - 100m

Mar 2012 - 150m

NB - The Linked In figures appear to be rounded up somewhat!!!

I guess this shows a trend that Facebook's growth is not as fast as Twitter's, but Twitter still has a little way to go to catch up with Facebook. No surprises there, but it is good to get some numbers to back this up.
