Amidst the Facebook-centric society in which we now seem to live, it's important to remember that groups of people around the world use social networks differently. We've taken a look at the social media breakdown in 10 countries -- how they're engaging with social networks, blogs and Internet culture.

Based on data provided by Nielsen, Facebook is clearly the favored social network. However, you might be surprised to see how runners-up like Twitter and LinkedIn rank on a global scale.

Take a peek at our infographic, and please let us know in the comments below which social networks are popular (or gaining popularity) in your country of residence.

Editor's Note: Because reliable data about emerging online markets like China and India is difficult to source, they were regrettably omitted from this graphic.
