Social Networking Habits Vary Considerably Across Asia-Pacific Markets

Philippines Exhibits Highest Social Networking Engagement

Facebook Competes with Local Brands for Title of Top Social Network

Singapore, April 7, 2010– comScore, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCOR), a leader in measuring

the digital world, today released its latest report on social networking activity in the
Asia-Pacific region (excluding China) based on data from its World Metrix service.
The study found that 50.8 percent of the total online population in the Asia-Pacific
region visited a social networking site in February 2010, reaching a total of 240.3
million visitors. Facebook.com ranked as the top social network across the majority
of individual markets in the region, while competing brands commanded the top
position in certain markets, including Orkut in India, Mixi.jp in Japan, CyWorld in
South Korea and Wretch.cc in Taiwan.

“While social networking continues to be one of the most popular and fastest growing
Web activities in the world, its dynamics in the Asia-Pacific region exhibit significantly
more individual market differentiation than in other global regions,” said Will
Hodgman, comScore executive vice president for Asia Pacific. “In some markets,
such as the Philippines, Australia and Indonesia, social networking is one of the most
popular Web activities reaching nearly 90 percent of the entire Internet population,
while other markets report less PC-based social networking penetration, which can
often be attributed to the high propensity to engage in social networking via mobile
devices in these markets.”

Social Networking Penetration Highest in Philippines, Australia and

Indonesia
In February 2010, Internet users in the Asia-Pacific region averaged 2.5 hours on
social networking sites during the month and visited the category an average of 15
times. Across markets, the Philippines showed the highest penetration of social
networking usage with more than 90 percent of its entire Web population visiting a
social networking site during the month, followed by Australia (89.6 percent
penetration) and Indonesia (88.6 percent penetration).

Social networkers in the Philippines also showed the highest level of engagement on
social networking sites averaging 5.5 hours per visitor in February, with visitors
frequenting the social networking category an average of 26 times during the month.
Strong engagement was also exhibited by Internet users in Indonesia (5.4 hours per
visitor and 22 visits per visitor), Australia (3.8 hours per visitor and 20 visits per
visitor) and Malaysia (nearly 3.8 hours per visitor and 22 visits per visitor).
