Steve Rubel has a post about why marketers should think like VC's which references the ComScore top 50 digital media properties for 2001.

This reminded me of an article which I read recently by Tim Bray titled Measuring the Web which tries to answer the following questions

• How big is the Web?
• What is the "average page" like?
• How richly connected is it?
• What are the biggest and most visible sites?
• What data formats are being used?
• What does the WWW look like?

This has a number of interesting graphs and info about the state of the internet in November 1995.

These include

Number of unique URLs: 11,366,121
Number of unique servers: 223,851

If you compare these figures with the billions of pages which you can search on Google in fractions of a second you can see how much it has grown.  Is it possible to even consider where we'll be in another 10 years time.
