29 social networks that have at least one million visitors per day | Royal Pingdom
[…] We found 29 social networks that currently have one million or more unique visitors per day. For traffic data, we used Google Trends for Websites.
Note that these numbers are estimates made by Google from a variety of data sources, so they will not be 100% correct, but should still give us a good idea of how the sites compare.
A few quick observations:
- Facebook has stated that about half of its users log in to the site every day, which seems to match these numbers.
- It’s interesting that Orkut, counted out by many, clocks in a significant number of daily visitors. From this perspective, it’s the second-largest social network in the world. This is in large part due to it’s extremely strong following in Brazil and to a somewhat lesser extent, India.
- How the mighty have fallen. MySpace is only number 12 on this list. (And speaking of the fallen, Friendster didn’t even make the list.)
- Facebook dominates to an almost ridiculous extent. Combine all the daily visitors for the other 28 social networks on this list and you still only end up with two-thirds of what Facebook has.
More detail at Pingdom including traffic stats for each social network.
Terrific insights.

[…] This infographic, from online coupon aggregator My Coupon Codes, shows the online buying market, illustrating what, where and just how much people are buying online.
The data is based on a 2010 Nielsen survey of more than 27,000 Internet users from North America, South America, Asia Pacific, Europe and the Middle East.
The study revealed that online reviews are playing an increasingly important role in purchasing decisions; 57% of online respondents consider reviews prior to purchase, particularly for cars, software and consumer electronics; and 40% of participants said they would not even buy electronics without consulting online reviews beforehand.

99.7% Of People Still Haven’t Bought A Tablet Yet | Chart Of The Day
[…] Only 0.3% of the Earth’s inhabitants owned a tablet at the end of 2010, RBC analyst Mike Abramsky notes [on March 3] in a detailed, 88-page report about the future of the tablet market. That means 99.7% of the people on Earth still haven’t bought a tablet yet!
[…] Abramsky predicts more than 400 million tablet users worldwide by 2014, including 185 million tablets sold in 2014. But he thinks Google Android, not Apple, will come to lead the market, representing 40% of the 2014 tablet market, versus 34% for Apple, 13% for Microsoft, 8% for BlackBerry, and 5% for HP WebOS.
My question is: how much of that 99.7% is actually a viable market?
The Oscars, On Twitter: Over 1.2 Million Tweets, 388K Users Tweeting | TechCrunch
Twitter has changed the way we watch television, says TechCrunch. Couldn’t agree more: now common to watch and tweet opinion and chat with others.
At least, that’s what I do 🙂
