GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Social Sciences - Computers (general)
Spanish term or phrase: adoptar
España y Holanda son dos de los mayores países que han adoptado las RSV en Europa. Según datos de Eurostat (2010a), el 88% de los holandeses y el 58% de los españoles son usuarios regulares de Internet.

Lacking inspiration here. It comes up quite a few times - it semms to me that you could translate it with use and users etc if you turn the sentence around but seeing as usuario and uso come up hundreds of times I need another expression. Do you think "embrace" sounds a little too gushing?

Thanks

Sp and TheN are the two countries with the highest take up of RSV in Europe.

embrace


Explanation:
I think embrace sounds more in line with 'social networking' than the formal adopt or register.
