What is interesting is some other statistics that show Tubmlr to be impressive, such as:
- 10% more "minutes spent" by US visitors than Twitter
- Tumblr generated the second most UK pageviews of any social network, after Facebook (again, obviously, a long way behind Facebook)
- With 11 million unique US viewers, Tumblr has less than Twitter (23m), Wordpress (22m), MySpace (19m), LinkedIn (17m), yet has more minutes spent on it than any of those. Blogger has 50m uniques (321% more than Tumblr) and only 700m minutes (16% more than Tumblr). All this shows that while it isn't huge in how many people use it, the audience it does have is much more engaged that other sites.
- Maro 15y agoIt's useful because 3 hours and 2 minutes are figures that I can easily remember, 53B and 600M not so much.
- corin_ 15y agoBut unless 100% of Americans use both these services, that is irrelevant, so essentially all you are doing is finding the lowest common denominator - and if you're wanting to do that, why wouldn't you go with defining facebook as "90x more", i.e. 90 / 1 rather than 180 / 2.
