Data of the Week: The Internet 2009 in Numbers

Posted in: Web Info, Tips & Tricks

I recently came across an article that consolidated a good deal of research into one concise, illuminating summary of the Internet in 2009.

Here are few highlights I found quite interesting:

  • 90 trillion: The number of emails sent on the Internet in 2009
  • 81% - The percentage of all emails that were spam
  • 126 million - The number of blogs on the Internet
  • 84% - The number if social networking sites with more women than men
  • 350 million - The number of people on Facebook
  • 50% - The percentage of Facebook users that log in every day
  • 2.5 billion - The number of photos uploaded each month to Facebook
  • 1 billion - The number of videos YouTube serves every single day
  • 3.9% - The percentage of world’s Internet users located in Africa
