The browser wars may just become a little bit more interesting. Apart from Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, and Safari, another player is ready to join the field in what will most probably be released as a beta - you know, company policy - for the upcoming 23 years: Chrome. It's a webkit-based browser from Google. Update: It's out there, folks.

It could well be 95% , but I lowered it for sensibility's sake.
And these statistics come from experience and it is not "the people that I know".
You can try this little test yourself. If you know any Internet user from India, try finding him/her on Orkut and in most probability (yes in more than 90% - so much for "statistics") you will be able to.

Where do those stats come from? Or is that 90% of the people you know?
I think it is called common sense and just looking around. Believe or not, Orkut is king here in Brazil and nobody even knows Facebook and MySpace despite some early attempts from the former to enter the Brazilian market. Oddly enough, GTalk is nowhere near as popular as MSN Messenger is here no matter how much Google tries to throw the weight of its brand on top of it (as a matter of fact, AOL's AIM isn't even a blip on the radar either).
I work for a Fortune 500 company that has outsourced some jobs to India and therefore I have some acquaintances there and based on what I've heard from them, I don't have any reason to believe that MySpace or Facebook are strong there either.
Is it that hard for some of you to understand that what is true for the US might not hold for other places in the world?
