Stats: The Internet in Charts
I love charts and graphs. So, here are a bunch of them that crossed my screen today. I found these all fascinating and I thought you would too.

Love this. Steve, great compilation.
Nice. I have been meaning to post the 3rd one as an explanation of why I started using Posterous in the first place.
Great stuff Steve. Where'd you happen to find these?
I think you mentioned in a recent presentation that there has been more content created on the internet in 2009 than has been cumulativel created every year prior. Is this still valid? Do you have a source?
@Rikin Google Reader - except for the last one which I received via email.
Good stuff, Steve. Can I use these on my blog and credit your blog?
Sure.
I've seen the YouTube figures used a few times, and I really don't get them. They are comparing the global uploads to YouTube with three TV channels from one country (even if it is the US). In what sense is that a sensible comparison? Isn't this just a case of hype (oooh! striking number!) triumphing over meaningful analysis?
Wow, thank you, great stuff as always. I am kind of a data visualization-a-holic myself. I think visualizing data is going to become more and more important as more and more information comes streaming at us around the world everyday and we all start life-streaming our entire lives.
Mark, Regardless of where the youtube uploads are coming from, we in the United States are able to access those videos. I believe this statistic is highlighting youtube as both a news and entertainment source, and the fact that it is potentially more influential than the listed programs BECAUSE of the fact that it is receiving uploads from around the world.
If you want more info on YouTube, watch mwesch'svideos on YouTube. They are fantastic!!
That's Amazing :)
Thanks for those thoughts Simon. I think there are two ways of looking at those numbers. (a) as an example of how much content is being produced (which doesn't work because it's comparing the world with the US), or (b) as an example of how much there is available for people to consume now - but if you're sat at home, you don't have just three TV channels to pick from in most (any?) home, let alone the question of DVDs etc.
Wow, impressive charts! #readit
Steve,Great visualizations, thank you for sharing. BTW you might be interested in a chart I created to show how social media functionality maps to different platforms.http://www.twitterthoughts.com/social-media-news-analyses/2009/9/3/social-media-ecosystem-mapped-as-a-wiring-diagram.html
Great charts. Here's one I’ve created that you might be interested in, which demonstrates a web based contact strategy on one slide.http://marckeating.posterous.com/the-ias-integrated-contact-strategy-model
this is one good compilation..i wonder, how did the end up with facts like this?
As a digital media geek, I LOVE how you've pulled this information together in such a visually interesting and compelling way. Thanks for posting!
Where did you get the data?

Top 10 lists probably account for 5% of the internet now days
