A Perspective on Location Services, Mobile Entrepreneurship & Startup Life

I found some interesting stats in the Generation G trendwatching report.

“Flickr, the photo sharing site, now boasts more than 33 million users, more than 3 billion images, and was handling 3,087(!) new uploads per minute last time we checked.“

“Wikipedia has 8,687,877 registered users, 144,788 of whom have been actively involved in the last 30 days. It offers 15,741,616 info pages.“

“13 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute, while 1 billion videos are watched. A day. And that was LAST year.“

“And don’t get us started on the millions of blogs (sharing insights and thoughts), or on reviews (Tripadvisor.com alone hosts 20,000,000 hotel reviews)”
