Today's Pick: Two billion served

The Future Buzz rounds up some pretty jaw-dropping numbers on social media usage in “49 Amazing Social Media, Web 2.0 and Internet Stats.”

For example, did you know Google indexes about 1 trillion pages?  Or that 2 billion people a day Google?  New social media sites like Twitter feature too: since its launch, over 1 billion tweets have been published.  (Want to watch that number spiral at a dizzying rate?  Click here.)

Any predictions on what next year’s numbers will look like?
