When we launched the Green Savers, three and a half years ago, we always have about us we extend to Facebook and Twitter, once the technology is one of the most powerful tools of social inclusion â€" and that allows us to reach more people and help more easily, to change mentalities.

Today, social networks are a privileged means to convey information related to sustainability, citizenship or good environmental practices. And in Portuguese, as Gnip data, an American company which examined various data since 2006 and concluded that the language of Luís Vaz de Camões and Jorge Amado is the fourth most used in this social network â€" Gnip data analyzed the language that users put as the main in your profile.

The graph below gives an account of the great popularity of Twitter in global terms, but also gives us to understand the amount of conversations in Portuguese in this social network. The Portuguese language only loses to England's (first), Japanese (second) and Spanish (third) in the global ranking. The following are the Indonesian, Arabic, French, Turkish, Russian and Korean.

This painting also explains how the major events impact the Twitter service. The huge increase in users who have selected the Arabic as preferred language, for example, coincided with the events of the last few years in the Middle East.

In percentage terms, taking into account all the languages used Twitter, the Portuguese rose of 0.03% in 2006 to the 0.31% (2007), 0.52% (2008), 1.48% (2009), 2.55% (2010), 4.26% (2011), 6.02% (2012). In 2013, this percentage dropped to 5.10%.
