For example: http://glio.com/local/cafe-com-letras-leblon-rio-de-janeiro
"The atmosphere itself is cool and they offer pcs for accessing the Internet, thus why it's highly visited by tourists. They offer sandwiches, coffee and alcoholic drinks. Unfortunately, you have to pay a fee to use the pc and R$10/hour to use wi-fi."
At least you know it's not a paid advert/comment just to get the site rolling.
As an aside, there really needs to be more places in Rio that offer free wi-fi and outlets. It's ridiculous how few places have either.
Also, R$10/hr (US$4.30/hr) to use wi-fi is really high, but we're talking about the posh Leblon, so...
Until a few weeks ago we were invite-only, and now we're going to test a few approaches and see what makes more sense to keep content quality high (that's why we require all users to be Facebook-authenticated) and at the same time make users happy.
Thanks again.
There are a lot of interesting statistics on Brazil's Facebook usage here (http://www.quintly.com/blog/2013/03/facebook-country-statist...).
Essentially, they say that Brazil is overall second in number of Facebook users and that as of March 35% of people are on the service (vs 50.76% in the US.) Unfortunately, the post doesn't explicitly say what the ranking is for the per capita percentage, which would be most interesting for this thread.
Also, they have almost doubled the number of users over a one year period (which started a little after Facebook surpassed Orkut [which has always been famous for having a huge Brazillian presence.])
But if I was planning to make a site for reviews, I would not be putting barriers just to view it...
