Stickiest websites for Filipino Internet Users

Using estimates generated by Double Click Ad Planner by Google, the following sites have high page views or stickiness among Filipino Internet users. (data covers September 2010)

Some thoughts to ponder on the image:

1. Facebook active users count is at 10 million for the Philippines generating 3.9 billion page views.
2. Google and YouTube traffic data not available for the Philippines which is a bit ironic. Am expecting Google to share their own data too as much as it encourages others to do so.
3. Friendster still has an active user community that can't be counted out.
4. Tagged users are very active in checking out profiles (which I assume includes photos). Its visitors also drops by dating sites.
5. Sulit and AyosDito are top 2 Pinoy sites most visited by Filipinos.
6. Habits of Filipino online gamers are changing as they focused more on games that are integrated in social networks.
7. Noting Multiply, Blogger, and Tumblr as popular blog sites for Pinoys.
8. Growing number of Pinoys spending their time in online service marketplace oDesk to get freelance projects.
9. When counter-checking the list with Alexa, a lot of the sites listed in Alexa have low count in Double Click Ad Planner.
10. There are 1.5 million active Twitter users in the Philippines.

Look forward to your thoughts.

The Bandwidth Dilemma

This blog post in PinoyTechBlog gave a flashback on an old discussion thread where the quality of MyDestiny's Internet connection is put into question. It is interesting to see that we are still on that topic at this time. I wonder what is the speed of MyDestiny these days. Their website does not say much whether it is a 64 kbps or higher form of Internet connection.

Much has changed to the options we have today in accessing the Internet. Especially since the government became more pro-active in enabling wireless Internet.

With the Internet, consumers have more avenues to be vigilant about their concerns. More and more columnists as well have even put forward these issues seeking for proper resolution.
