Big Numbers

Posted on by

There are more than 1 billion people online around the world. That is such an amazing statistic. When I first went online there were less than 100,000 people connected to the Internet. How is that for growth?
According to comScore, the top five players ranked by monthly visitors include:

1.  Google - 600 million plus

2.  Microsoft sites - 540 million plus

3.  Yahoo sites - 488 million or so

4.  AOL – 240 million plus

5.  Wikipedia – 240 million plus

It is surprising that Apple is now in the top 10 with 139 plus million and that Facebook has hit 100 million plus as well.

What is more amazing is that online growth is booming outside of North America and that US online usage is now at about only 20 percent of worldwide usage.

Sad but True

The US is ranked 15th in the world in terms of modern broadband plant and quality of connections. That is midpoint out of 30 countries.

We will soon only represent 10 to 15 percent of internet users as well. We are being marginalized everywhere – in every aspect of business – on a global scale.
