Silver is the new black (internationally).
But in South Africa it’s a slightly different story: “White was overwhelmingly the most popular vehicle color choice in the region, at 35 percent, which is the highest percentage of any region covered in the report. Silver (24 percent) takes second and black/black effect combine for 14 percent.”
I guess we knew this, but it’s interesting to see the stats.

Relative Size of Geosocial Universe
Some surprises here! Skype at 590 million, sheesh! And Yahoo mail - so high too, why? Surely not because it’s better than GMail? Maybe just because it arrived earlier. Same as Hotmail.

Interesting statistic of the day
Take a click through to this infographic. Don’t you think it’s amazing that the USA has only 48 mobile phones per 100 people - compared to the UK at 84 or even Icelnad at 90 per 100! And Canada - only 37 phones per 100.
