Now with a global audience

While Facebook activity plateaus in the US and Britain, the social network shows no sign of slowing its conquest of other countries.

According to comScore, the percentage of monthly unique visitors coming from the US dropped from 76 percent at the start of the year to 35 percent at the end. And the percentage from North America and Canada dropped from 96 percent at the start, to 64 percent at the end.

Europe now represents 23 percent of unique visitors, while Asia is at 14 percent. Growth from the two continents is steadily rising, according to a chart on Scott Goodson's blog. Facebook recently also released German language support, according to Mashable.

In January, competitor MySpace launched MySpace Russia, marking its 23rd debut in a new country.
