lol! at no. 24, and 39, looks like we Irish are not so prudish in the privacy and (supposed anonymity <-yeah right) of our own homes. A good few polish links in there too, and a Rapidshare and the pirate bay also. It gives a good indication of Irish web use in general.

aye me 2, but realistically it probably is alot higher

ya gotta take into account peoples homepages, poker clients launch alot of web activity too etc. Also collages homepages , i.e groups of PCS defaulting to google everyday etc, theres alot to it.

Never knew google had a social networking site.

If you take a different look at the stats and view Irish-only websites, boards is actually 5th.

http://www.alexa.com/browse?&CategoryID=23010

Up from 7th or 8th I think.

Wouldnt have a huge amount of faith in Alexa figures. They are a decent indicator but nothing more.

Orkut is what a lot of middle eastern countries use instead of facebook/myspace/bebo.

BBC higher than RTE.

Another reason why I'm glad not to pay my TV license.

Well they haven't asked me.

And RTE.ie doesn't benefit from the TV license.

But aside from that....
