Dec 9 2009Impressive!: A Day In The Life Of The Internet

This is a graphic depicting what the internet goes through on a typical day. It's pretty freakin' impressive. But it also made me feel pretty insignificant. Then I realized I'm practically the ringleader of this circus (metaphor magic!) and that's when I removed the hose from my exhaust pipe.
How Huge Is the Internet on an Average Day? [gizmodo]
Thanks to AJ, who once sent an email to himself but never received it. DUM DUM DUM!

Sorry GW. The Superficial Writer is the ringleader, not you. Don't get me wrong, you're great and all, in your own special unique way. We can't all be superstars.
You can re-attach the hose now.

20. Jaded Icon - December 10, 2009 9:27 AM
@ 20
I see you point, but I was referring to an actual poster that ironically named him/herself GRAMMER NAZI, hence the all caps title.
But thanks for playing, GoSS Jerk tell him what he's won!!........

30. LSDiesel - December 10, 2009 10:43 AM
@14....nevermind.
@naas, it was 3 degress when I got up for work this morning. I went outside with a frown, and I think my face will be frozen with that expression for the rest of the day.
31. naas - December 10, 2009 10:53 AM
@deez - crappy, why aren't you working from home yet? I haven't even gotten dressed since recovering consciousness from last night, I'm buzzed on coffee parton thanks to Closet Nerd & sitting next to a lid of fresh purple kush. I don't have 1/2 the talent you have with the power of the pixel, this should be you
You should tell the boss you get more done at home because you don't have to deal with the commute or it's residual effects it has on ones soul. I will back you up. Something's gotta give & I'm not moving from this spot
32. Jiakasuma - December 10, 2009 11:18 AM
The internet sure is an attention whore

@14 clearly doesn't comprehend the vastness of the charts.
35. Crazywow - December 10, 2009 2:31 PM
Did I miss the line on the graph where it says 2 people on the internetz actually ends up having sex together every day.......just sometimes it's with a same sex partner . Most of the time it's people by themselves.
36. agent - December 10, 2009 2:34 PM
that chart is full of lies, do not believe anything what it says.
37. suomynonA - December 10, 2009 4:51 PM
Seriously, 3,000,000 image uploads A DAY to flickr?
I know flickr has like 100m++ total, but 3m+ a day seems too much.
