How big is the internet?


Have you ever wondered how big the Internet is? Some of you probably have, and for those of you that really care to know, Focus.com has put together a large chart with various statistics about the size of the Internet. There's also one other interesting statistic that I've derived from their chart:

  • Total number of people using email services: 1.9 billion.
  • Total number of Internet users: 2 billion
That means 95% of all Internet users also have e-mail addresses, that's a much higher percentage than I would have guessed. Now would be a good time to also mention xkcd.com's "map of online communities", which is fascinating in its own right.
