Internet in Argentina: 13 Million Users and Counting

Argentina now counts 12.9m Internet users out of a 40m population, according to comScore?s figures for March 2011. A conservative number, considering that it doesn?t include users under 15 and those accessing the Internet solely from their mobile phones or cyber cafés. Here are the most interesting figures presented during yesterday?s webinar on ?The State of the Internet in Argentina? by comScore?s Country Manager for Argentina and Uruguay, Sebastian Yoffe.

Who are the Argentine users?

  • Argentine users spend more time online than the average Latin American or international user: 27.4 hours per month, 4 hours above the global average.
  • The age structure of Argentine Internet users is similar to the country?s general population: it?s a relatively mature market. However, it?s among the young generation (15-24) that the heaviest users can be found. They spend much more time online than their counterparts in Latin America and the rest of the world: 33.1 hours.
  • In terms of gender, men under 35 spend more time online than their female counterparts, while the trend is reversed for users over 35.

Social networks, IM and blogs show high penetration

  • Social networks are very popular, a common trend in Latin American countries, and a very strong one in Argentina. 9 out of 10 Internet users access social networks, and Argentines spend 30% of their online time on social networks. Their growth is also twice as fast in the country as in the rest of the world: 12% vs. 6%.
  • More specifically, Argentina is Facebook?s 5th market in terms of reach, and Twitter?s 7th. [Looking at the time spent these sites is even more impressive: Argentinians spend the second largest amount number of hours on Facebook, only losing to Israelis, according to a recent comScore press release.]
  • Instant messaging is also much more popular than in other countries: 71% use it (vs. 36% in the rest of the world.)
  • Other categories with a higher a penetration in Argentina are blogs and photos [the photo-blogging platform Fotolog is very popular in the country.]

E-commerce in Argentina

  • In terms of e-commerce, the penetration is still much lower than in the US or Europe and many visits don?t end with an online transaction, but according to comScore?s figures, 97% of the surveyed people consider that retail websites are important to gathering the information that leads to their purchase decisions.
  • As in many countries, daily deals websites have shown tremendous growth, a very strong trend in a market that Groupon entered relatively early: +8274% year on year.

News, sports and entertainment also show potential

  • With 71% reach and 10% growth, news websites are more popular and grow faster in Argentina than in other Latin American countries and in the world. The leading destinations belong to Grupo Clarin and Grupo La Nacion, but it?s interesting to note that players with a lower reach such as Grupo Infobae manage to retain users for a fairly similar amount of minutes to Clarin.
  • Access to sports? content is also increasing (+8% year on year) and it?s worth noting that June?s World Cup?s surge has been maintained since then. The penetration of sports? websites is similar to numbers observed in rival Brazil: 38%. The most popular destination is ole.com.ar, where the average user spend over one hour a month.
  • ComScore expects the entertainment and online video to keep on growing as broadband access become more mainstream. At the moment, the time Argentines spend watching videos online is still lower than in Europe or in North America: 8.3 hours, according to comScore Video Metrix, vs. 14.7h in the US.

Argentines are heavy searchers

  • The average number of searches per user is 175, a high figure compared to other countries. Latin Americans tend to be heavy searchers, and Argentines even more (ahead of Brazil and Chile, for example). Google Sites attract 89% of these searches (see our previous story). Facebook?s share for search is 6%, Microsoft Sites 3% and Yahoo! Sites 1%.

We now look forward to comScore?s upcoming Total Universe Report, which should soon include out-of-home and out-of-work Internet access numbers, giving us a more global view of Argentina?s online landscape.

Lindsay Lohan: "Grateful" for Alcohol Hearing

Despite having been faced with the possibility of serving time behind bars, Lindsay Lohan is thankful for today's (June 23) court hearing over an alcohol-related probation violation.

The 24-year-old, who is currently serving a 120-day house arrest sentence, went before a Los Angeles judge this morning to answer up after allegedly failing a court-ordered alcohol test.

However, Judge Stephanie Sautner decided that the alcohol infringement didn?t count because Lindsay?s prior judge, Eldon Fox, only required substance testing until February 25th.

Now, according to a FOX News source, LiLo is actually thankful for today's hearing, as they explained, ?Lindsay is always grateful for these situations because they bring her back into the ?present.??

Cindy Anthony Testimony Stunner: I Ran Chloroform Search?


Cindy Anthony shocked courtroom observers today when she testified in the trial of her daughter, Casey, and proclaimed:

"I searched for chloroform."

Mrs. Anthony was referring to the revelation that searches for disturbing terms - such as "chloroform" and "neck breaking" - were found in deleted space on the hard drive of the family's laptop.

But Cindy tried to convince jurors today that there was an innocent explanation for it all:

"I was searching for 'chlorophyll' because I was worried that it might affect my dogs. I was worried about them eating bamboo," she said, adding about the term chest injuries: "A friend of mine was in a car accident, and I looked up certain injuries...

"I did not search for neck breaking, but there was a pop up for a YouTube video of a skateboarder doing a 'neck breaking' stunt."

Records suggest that Cindy Anthony was at work at the time of these searches, but Casey's mother simply said it was "possible" she had returned home from her job by then.

Cindy first took the stand on Tuesday in the trial that has captivated millions. Casey Anthony faces the death penalty if found guilty of her daughter's (Read more...)
