Facebook has the largest collection of photos compared to any other website on the internet. Flickr and Picassa, which are dedicated photo-sharing sites, are far behind in the race with facebook being expected to hit 100 billion photos this summer.

According to a recent analysis, out of the total number of photos on Facebook, around 10% are profile photos. Photo organizing Facebook app Pixable has analysed about 500,000 of its users’ profiles and come up with some interesting facts about the photos people choose to represent themselves on Facebook, in the form of an infographic.

Hi Amandeep,

Do you think brands also should change their profile pic more often in FB unless otherwise they bring major changes in the logo?
Nice infographic.

Hi,

For brands, who have logos set on their FB pages, I do not think they should do so very frequently on their brand page. However, they should keep on changing with as per the market demand but the frequent changes may not impress the public :) What do you think?
