Internet Live Stats: how many tweets, emails and more are sent every second?

The internet is without doubt the most widely used tool in our daily lives — so much so that we barely even notice we are using it, even to look up the definition of a word.
Back in 1998, a mere 10,000 Google searches were made worldwide each day. Today, that figure stands at 54,907 searches… per second!

Internet Live Stats: staggering real-time figures

Drawing on various sources (the International Telecommunication Union, Nefcraft, etc.), Internet Live Stats estimates how many searches are made every day.
How many internet users are there? How many emails, tweets, Tumblr posts or Instagram uploads are sent each day across the web? How many websites exist? All these answers are displayed in real time, updated every second, on Internet Live Stats.

Impressive figures

In a single second, there are 7,252 tweets, 125,406 YouTube video views and 2,501,018 emails sent!
There are also 729 photos uploaded to Instagram and 2,177 Skype calls made.
The numbers climb so fast that by the time you have written one down, it has already doubled, tripled, and gone even further.
