Indonesia: Facebook leader?

Jeremy Wagstaff's post, Facebook in Asia: A Limit to Growth? shows an achievement (yeah, not so important probably) for Indonesia. He collected information on Facebook populations by country in Asia-Pacific. And, Indonesia is taking lead as the highest Facebook populations. With 24% growth and 6.68% proportion of population on Facebook, Indonesia shows stunning expansion of penetration.

Without valid data on number of internet access in Indonesia, I guess Facebook population that a top-notch in Indonesia mainly drifted strongly by the wide access on mobile phone through 3G network. Despite of lack of high speed internet network available in Indonesia, this is something that can be seen as good thing that Indonesian population highly appreciate internet as their new media for communication or expanding social network. It shown a combination of expanding information technology with people ability to utilize such technology.

We may continue to highlight some detrimental thing of high Facebook user. However, I believe it is more sensible if we are being affirmative with how can Indonesian people gain benefit from better access to information after they are able to expanding their social network and technology utilization. Such access hopefully could give some additional knowledge, skills or social movement for greater welfare achievement.

firefox 3... Awesome!

Great! That's my first word to describe the feature of Firefox 3. I've already start to enjoy Safari as my web browser in my MacBook, and that enjoyment become more complete after I installed the new Firefox.

I love the new look of it, since it has similarity with Safari that simple yet very functional. One thing that so far still evidence with Firefox - and that is my main reason to continue using Firefox in addition to Safari - is adequate speed to access website that makes me relief since in Indonesia the internet connection mostly uneventful and rather dull. And, I do not know how that Firefox (and Safari) could cope that issue while IE still struggling to open a single web page. Therefore, it is quite acceptable that Firefox claimed to be the fastest, leanest and most powerful browser ever. I couldn't agree more.

Another great thing is the optional local language. At my first download, I was directed to download Indonesia version Firefox 3. As I am not convenience with English-Indonesian translation, then I tried to find out the English version Firefox 3. And there I can see a lot of language option to be downloaded. That's really interesting, I guess. Among other advantage such as customization with add-on feature, great security and malware protection, as well as - my favorite - simple browser with possible modification based on your own need. For me, that is a single indication of "no contest" result.

I do not know how to make a good review, but I would like you to try this new piece of marvel. Please, try it!
