comScore recently released study results of Internet usage in Brazil. The study revealed that 85% of Internet users use social networking sites. In fact, Google-owned Orkut topped the list beating out other social networking sites.
"For Internet users in Brazil, social networking continues to flourish as a hugely popular activity," said Alex Banks, managing director of Latin America for comScore.
