Onlangs was ik op zoek naar wat recente statistieken over Flickr voor mijn social media presentatie. Ik kwam er achter ze ze recentelijk de 4 miljard grens gepasseerd waren. Dat zijn een hoop foto’s…

Toch is het een schril contrast als we naar de groei van Facebook kijken. Met inmiddels meer dan 300 miljoen leden (!) zijn de de vierde grootste site ter wereld. En wat bleek: Facebook heeft 15 miljard foto’s en daar komen per maand zo’n 2 miljard foto’s bij. Hoezo ongelofelijke groeicijfers. Wederom een bewijs dat als je als marketeer echt eens verder in dit fenomeen moet duiken.

Not convinced yet? Kijk dan even goed naar deze verbluffende statistieken:

50% of our active users log on to Facebook in any given day
