News brought to you by Planet Talk - the best rates for calling abroad from the UK.
People living in the Philippines are among the most prolific users of Twitter globally, new research has found, although Americans and Brits quite like accessing the site on their mobile phones.
The country had the sixth highest level of Twitter penetration compared to other countries, according to research by comScore.
People in Indonesia and Brazil had the highest levels of penetration for the social media site, recording a reach of 20.8 per cent and 20.5 per cent respectively, compared to the Philippines 14.8 per cent.
However, in the USA and Europe, Twitter penetration is being driven by smartphone use.
Many people may be complementing regular cheap international calls from their mobile phone to family and friends in other countries with updates on Twitter.
Twitter penetration among smartphone users in the US stands at 8.3 per cent, while in the UK it stands at 5.8 per cent.
Many Filipinos are likely to have been tweeting about the DPOP Culture Festival, which took place earlier this week.
