More than 40 million Internet users have accounts, Bebo said, a figure that has doubled in the last year as the company has moved aggressively to add local-language sites. The AOL relationship could help expand its user base.

“We have a real opportunity for people to discover Bebo in the U.S. now,” the president of Bebo, Joanna Shields, said.
