Indonesian love with Twitter

Indonesia is the social media capital of the world. This is one of the most Twitter and Facebook-friendly nations on Earth. A higher proportion of Indonesian internet users sign on to Twitter than in any other country. Indonesia is also home to the world's third-largest number of Facebook users. 


The film #republiktwitter is a tale that reflects Indonesia's love affair with Twitter. Many companies are using Jakarta for its launch of games and social media related stuff. They consider it to be a creative market. 



It is thought there are 40 million Facebook users among Indonesia's 240 million-strong population - no small feat, given that only 21% of Indonesians between the ages of 15 and 49 have access to the internet, according to a 2011 report.
Many in rural areas struggle to get connected, but the social media phenomenon is widespread amongst Indonesia's urban elite. A famous TV host in Indonesia, Desi Anwar has over 100,000 Twitter followers and she has written a book on her tweeting experience because many of her tweets are re-tweeted.
