10 Billion Photos

Most people don’t think of Facebook as a photo site, but it has far more photos on it than either Photobucket or Flickr: Over 10 billion to be exact. Flickr hosts about 2 billion photos and Photobucket hosts around 6 billion photos.

It also underscores the pervasiveness of social media when you consider at peak traffic Facebook serves 300,000 images per second to its 100 million members.
