Im Blog von Royal Pingdom wurde versucht, das Internet 2009 in Zahlen zu fassen. Meiner Meinung nach klingt das ziemlich schwer etwas so “lebendiges” und “dynamisches” Zahlen zu fassen. Doch sehen wir uns am besten an was auf diesen Blog veröffentlicht wurde:
What happened with the Internet in 2009? How many websites were added? How many emails were sent? How many Internet users were there? This post will answer all of those questions and many more. Prepare for information overload, but in a good way.
Besonders interessant finde ich die Kennzahlen zum Bereich Social Media:
* 126 million – The number of blogs on the Internet (as tracked by BlogPulse).
* 84% – Percent of social network sites with more women than men.
* 27.3 million – Number of tweets on Twitter per day (November, 2009)
* 57% – Percentage of Twitter’s user base located in the United States.
* 4.25 million – People following @aplusk (Ashton Kutcher, Twitter’s most followed user).
* 350 million – People on Facebook.
* 50% – Percentage of Facebook users that log in every day.
* 500,000 – The number of active Facebook applications.
