Australian Internet and Social Media Statistics (July 2012)
Welcome! In this post we look at the Australian Internet and Social Media Statistics, current as at the end of July 2012.
Internet and social media statistics relevant to Australia can be hard to find, so we're easing the effort by offering you helpful overviews regarding the growth (or fall) of key social media platforms and the state of internet usage in our country. All comparisons are based on statistics from the previous month.

Australian Facebook Statistics
NB: Due to a statistical abnormality on Socialbakers.com, the total Australian user count for Facebook will be taken from Google Double Click statistics this time. Because of this, the number could be notably different as Double Click determines its stats through different measures.
I will list last month's user count in red - as determined by Socialbakers.com - as well so that you have a point of reference between July's count and June's. Note that the abnormality on Socialbakers.com was a user count of about 2x more than Australia's actual population.
Other statistics in this Facebook section will also be taken from Double Click and noted. Anything not noted is still sourced from Socialbakers.com as those statistics haven't shown any signs of abnormalties.
