The Internet, no longer just a series of tubes, continues to expand and attract a broader, more global audience.

Server uptime and performance monitoring service, Pingdom, has pulled together a list of Internet statistics. These are hefty numbers that indicate just where things (or more specifically, the general public) are headed. Some of the more impressive figures that caught our eye include:

  • 90 trillion – The number of emails sent on the Internet in 2009.
  • 81% – The percentage of emails that were spam.
  • 1.4 billion – The number of email users worldwide.
  • 234 million – The number of websites as of December 2009.
  • 47 million – Added websites in 2009.
  • 1.73 billion – Internet users worldwide (September 2009) – An 18% Increase over the previous year.
  • Internet users per region: 42.6% Asia (Yup, they’re leading), 24.1% Europe, 14.6% North America, 10.3% Latin America / Caribbean, 3.9% Africa, 3.3% Middle East, 1.2% Oceania / Australia. Imagine that, we’re 3rd!
  • 126 million – The number of blogs on the Internet (as tracked by BlogPulse).
  • 27.3 million – Number of tweets on Twitter per day (November, 2009)
  • 350 million – People on Facebook.
  • 50% – Percentage of Facebook users that log in every day.
  • 2.5 billion – Photos uploaded each month to Facebook. – Yuh, Billion!
  • 1 billion – The total number of videos YouTube serves in one day.
  • 82% – Percentage of Internet users that view videos online (USA).
