World now has more email users than sheep
Latest posts | Feed | By Mark Brownlow
According to the Radicati Group, there are now over 1.1 billion email users in the world, with nearly 1.4 billion active accounts.
The number of emails sent each day amounts to about 171 billion and around 121 billion of those are spam. Pity the poor analyst who had to count them.
So there are about 50 billion legitimate emails flying around each day. Now you see why it's important to deliver value to your subscribers, so you stand out from the other 49,999,999,999 emails.
(I checked the UN's latest estimates: in 2005, there were around 1.081 billion sheep in the world. So I can officially confirm the transition from the agricultural age to the communication age.)
