The Bottom Line, Internet Edition

with one comment

Royal Pingdom gives us the Internet 2009 in numbers. I always have trouble digesting lists like this — do I really care that there are 234 million Websites? And can I be sure that number’s correct? — but there’s one thing that just jumps right out at me: the explosion of “non-traditional” Web content, to wit:

  • 27.3 million – Number of tweets on Twitter per day (November, 2009)
  • 2.5 billion – Photos uploaded each month to Facebook
  • 12.2 billion – Videos viewed per month on YouTube in the US (November 2009)
