Singapore, Sep 22 (AFP): Asia is the fastest-growing region for new subscribers to social networking site Facebook despite restrictions on access in China, a senior company executive said today.
Speaking at the opening of Facebook's first Asian sales office in Singapore, vice-president Blake Chandlee said its growth in the region was outpacing the rest of the world.
Facebook currently claims more than 500 million registered users worldwide, with 54 percent said to be logging on to the site daily.
Chandlee, the commercial director for regions outside North America and western Europe, declined to give regional or country user breakdowns except for Singapore, which has nearly three million users out of a population of five million.
