Wow, I'm a bit surprised to see the Asian group so large. I know they make up the bulk of the world, but I really only see Japan as being big on the internet. Clearly, people from other Asian countries are on the 'net a lot!

This is actually pretty interesting! The number of playbacks on Youtube is astonishing, but I'm oddly not surprised about Rebecca Black being the most viewed video.

And wow Asia. I thought we had a lot of people on the internet, but dang.
