Default Facebook Is Worlds Largest Photo Library With Over 140 Billion Photos

In a revealing article on the 1000 Memories website you get a fantastic picture on just how big Facebook is when compared to other photographic sites such as Flickr and Instagram. Also revealing that “Every 2 minutes today we snap as many photos as the whole of humanity took in the 1800s”.

The diagram below shows a square representing Facebook’s 140 billion photos that have been uploaded to it since it start, and down in the bottom left corner (magnified) is the amount of photos for Flickr and Instagram have stored for users.

Blimey very visual and sobering!

The digital camera has to be one of the best inventions in recent history. I'm sure I've got some form of autism as I have to keep all of our family pics in nice date ordered folders with little descriptions But we now have literally tens of thousands of pics, now times that by the rest of the population!

Plus Facebook is such a good way to show off a few pics to people who know you, with out boring them with your 1500 holiday snaps

Will certainly make family genealogy a lot easier in years to come!

I have been guilty of uploading albums and albums of photo's on facebook during my uni days! They are good to look back on - nice little memories :-).

Nice pic though, I love infographics!

If it had said 14 million, I wouldn't have been surprised - but Billion is just staggering.

Gosh.. that's really something. Facebook is phenomenal. I lost some pics a while back from my camera.. then I remembered I had uploaded them to Facebook.. so I was able to go back into my album and download them again..shew! Wonder if it will last if they keep updating and improving? A lot of people are complaining about the most recent update.

Who'd like to have a stab at guessing the amount of hard drive space 140 billion images would take up?

I bet it's not, and since this was first posted, it's probably grown by another 100 million!
