NEW DELHI: If you thought YouTube and Flickr were the largest video and photo sharing sites in India, it might be time to have your statistics updated. The world’s largest social networking site, Facebook, has beaten Google’s YouTube and Yahoo’s Flickr, at least in India, to become the largest video and photo sharing site, in terms of unique visitors. Unique user count for websites is measured using cookies. When a browser, say Chrome or Firefox, visits a website, it checks for the existence of a particular cookie (like a cookie for Facebook). Counting unique cookies gets the unique number of users. Now, as per online audience measurement firm Vizisense, Facebook.com attracted almost 18.7 million unique users in May while YouTube.com attracted about 15.5 million and Yahoo’s Flickr attracted 1.91 million Indian users. In India, Facebook’s user base is growing at 12% each month - much higher than the 1.3% growth in YouTube’s base. In terms of stockpile of photos too, Facebook has beaten Yahoo’s Flickr to become the largest photo database. Till date, users have uploaded over 15 billion photos which makes Facebook the biggest photo-sharing website. Yahoo’s Flickr hosts about 4 billion images. | |||
