Facebook Tops 10 Billion Photos
October 16th, 2008
Facebook has announced that the social network has just topped 10 billion photos uploaded by members. And actually, since FB stores four images sizes for each photo uploaded, that number is more precisely in the 40 billion area. This is quite significant when compared to other top photo-sharing websites including Photobucket which hosts 6 billion photos and Flickr which stores just over 2 billion.
Facebook members view over 15 million photos every day, and at peak traffic times, over 300,000 images are viewed per second.
