What's to Come

Stats, Stats, and More Stats

Prior to a talk I gave the other day, I dug around to update some of the statistics. Below are some that I saw:

• 2 billion mobile subscribers world-wide
• 235 million mobile subscribers in the U.S.
• 450 million mobile subscribers in China
• 10 billion text messages are sent per month
• YouTube has 100 million downloads / day which equates to the data equivalent of 75 billion emails
• The equivalent of 9,305 years have been watched on YouTube
• MySpace has 61 million registered viewers
• FaceBook has 24 million registered users and 85% of college students have a FaceBook account
• FaceBook accounts for 1 percent of the overall Internet traffic
  
• There are 120,000 new blogs started everyday
• There are between 118 million and 124 million websites, growing by 4.4 million per month
• 1.2 billion people around the world use the Internet. In the U.S. that relates to roughly 70% of the population.

NOTE: 43.7% of statistics are made up on the fly and this contains a margin of error of plus or minus 12%!!!
