Google and Facebook are Top sites in Asia

Google and facebook topped most sites in Asia according to Alexa. These includes Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Thailand, Indonesia Philippines, India and Taiwan. Well, almost everywhere in the world except China and Russian. In China, they have their own Baidu, QQ, etc. Google is only ranked number 5. 




In Russian, the facebook equivalent is Vkontakte (no 2) and their Google equivalent is Yandex (no 1). 


Google peers with most major carrier in each country and they have been very successful with that. Going to Youtube used to be a painful experience in terms of speed but that has been improved tremendously due to the extensive local peering. That's something that Facebook should be learning too. To top most countries in the world is no easy feat. One must admit that these guys really knows what they are doing.
