Media_httpstatic3busi_qkgqp

Some 618 million people use Facebook every day, the company told investors today.

And that adds up to mind-boggling amount of data, especially photos.

Facebook stores more than 240 billion photos, with some 350 million new photos uploaded a day, reports Data Center Knowledge's Rich Miller.

To house those photos and all the other stuff, the company has built some of the most sophisticated data centers in the world, particularly its showpiece data center in Prineville, Ore.
