Video is power the most powerful source on the internet!

It is almost common sense and almost hard for some people to swallow how obvious it is.

Individual stats like Facebook passing the 400 million users mark, Twitter hitting 50 million tweets per day, and YouTube viewers watching 1 billion videos per day are impressive on their own, but what if we looked at Internet-related stats in it’s entirety? Jesse Thomas did just that in his video State of the Internet.

The video — created and animated by Thomas with data from multiple sources highlighting the figures I feel like we all probably know deep down inside.  Here is a must see video for anyone trying to wrap there head around the concept and power of online video.

- There are 1.73 billion Internet users worldwide as of September 2009.

- There are 1.4 billion e-mail users worldwide, and on average we collectively send 247 billion e-mails per day. Unfortunately 200 billion of those are spam e-mails.

- As of December 2009, there are 234 million websites.

- Facebook gets 260 billion pageviews per month, which equals 6 million page views per minute and 37.4 trillion pageviews in a year.

Check it out!  This is really interesting breakdown of viewers on the internet and where they go to get there source.
