RE: Knowing audience through social share
I can help you only with twitter:
https://twitter.com/search?q=""http://moz.com""&src=typd
Just replace the http://moz.com with your domain.
For Facebook or Linkedin I don't think you can do that, but you can find people who liked your Facebook page or who shared your Facebook posts.

RE: International web site - duplicate content?
To avoid duplicate content you need to use the rel=”alternate” href=”x” tag. You dont have to buy a domain, here are several ways you can organise your website.
ccTLDs - [example.ie]
Pros
- Clear geotargeting
- Server location irrelevant
- Easy separation of sites
Cons
- Expensive (and may have limited availability)
- Requires more infrastructure
- Strict ccTLD requirements (sometimes)
****Subdomains with gTLDS [de.example.com]
Pros
- Easy to set up
- Can use Webmaster Tools geotargeting
- Allows different server locations
- Easy separation of sites
Cons
- Users might not recognize geotargeting from the URL alone (is “de” the language or country?)
Subdirectories with gTLDs [example.com/de/]
Pros
- Easy to set up
- Can use Webmaster Tools geotargeting
- Low maintenance (same host)
Cons
- Users might not recognize geotargeting from the URL alone
- Single server location
- Separation of sites harder
URL parameters [site.com?loc=de]
Pros
Cons
- URL-based segmentation difficult
- Users might not recognize geotargeting from the URL alone
- Geotargeting in Webmaster Tools is not possible
You can have even the same content for example, if you have a version for the UK and another for the US the content will be very similar.
Hope this helps
