In 2009, Ice News posted an article stating that Denmark is the nation with the most users on the famous social networking website, Facebook. More than a third of Denmark's web users have a profile on Facebook, ranking them number one among the world's countries. Social networking in Denmark is huge; like the US, facebook is not the only networking site in Denmark.
However, Denmark did not stop at facebook, there is social media clubs, public relations ran online, and in 2009 Denmark became the first country to use social media to increase its country's international export. PRLog (press release) posted the article about this site, Dabgo, saying that it is a true national globalization strategy to not only increase export opportunities and its citizens career opportunities, but also minimize its countries brain drain.
