Le blog de Netlog / Heads in the cloud

There has been a lot of chat about how cloud computing – where information is stored in an internet ‘cloud’ – is being championed by the social networks.

Cloud computing describes the saving of information somewhere online, not on your computer or on a disc. After all, do you keep your data to yourself, or do you share it?

People, it seems, are very happy to host their photos, videos and other content on external sites. Studies suggest that these are the best ways to store, share and (come on now, admit it) spy on other people.

So, we thought we’d put some of our statistics out there. Here goes…

• Netlog hosts almost 180 million user photos online
• Our users upload more than 4 million photos per week and view 6 million photos per week
• More than 21 million Netlog members have at least one photo on their profile

Do you have a set of images that you’re proud of? Do you use Netlog for pictures of yourself, or do you publish some of your finest shots so other people can share in the joy?

Actually, the most popular picture tag on Netlog is cool – read into that what you will!
