The World Cup is over: Spain are champions, South Africa won the respect of nearly everyone with its hosting prowess, and Paul the "psychic" octopus became a global sensation. But that's not the whole story. Here, a look at the tournament through a numerical lens:

$5.6 billion
Amount spent by South Africa to host the games, including building and renovating 10 stadiums. (Other estimates suggest the real figure is closer to $8-$11 billion.) "Officials believe when everything is counted the country will break even," reports the Toronto Sun.
130,000
Jobs created in South Africa by the event (though many of them were temporary construction gigs).
0.7
Percentage "Bounce" to the GDP that a country enjoys after a World Cup win, according to a 2006 study. "With unemployment hitting 42.9 percent among 16 to 24-year-olds, Spain's World Cup victory could not have come at a better time," says James Montague at CNN.

Estimated number of foreign visitors who traveled to South Africa for the World Cup, exceeding an earlier estimate by 200,000, according to the Finance Ministry
3.1 million
Total number of people who attended the 64 tournament matches — thethird highest figure in history
40,000
Police officers on duty at the World Cup sites to ward off criminals
172
Cases heard by the special criminal courts created by South Africa forWorld Cup. Most were "trivial like the theft of England's underpants and the cannabis smoking of Paris Hilton's friend."
HUGE EVENTS: The Top 10 largest concerts in history!
The heyday of the music concert. There was no auto tune, miming was frowned upon and you didn't have to sell your nan to buy a ticket or sit staring at Ticketmaster's website for hours on end only to have your hopes dashed by that dastardly 'page not found' message.
Fear not. We re-visit the largest ever music concerts in history and wonder how much more awesome these would have been with kee.ps
10. Blockbuster RockFest 1997 [385,000] was a music event that celebrated capital punishment. It was held on Texas Motor Speedway with hot artists like No Doubt, Counting Crows and Matchbox Twenty.
9. Woodstock 1969 [400,000] was the pop culture event of that decade that had a big influence on both American music and culture. Legendary artists like Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Santana and the Who was only a few of many others that performed. The audience, that were mostly hippies, sent a message to the world that everyone could gather together to enjoy music and celebrate peace.
8. Toronto SARS Benefit 2003 [450,000+]. The disease SARS that attacked Asia and Toronto in Canada was the reason for this benefit concert. Rolling Stones, AC/DC and Justin Timberlake were some of the artists that supported by performing.
7. Simon & Garfunkel [500,000] held their second reunion concert in Central Park in 1981. It was a free concert that was televised by HBO.
6. Isle of Wight Festival [600,000] was the biggest concert ever held in UK. The Who, The Doors and Leonard Cohen were some of the performing artists, and Jimi Hendrix had unfortunately his last performance on this event. All the tickets were sold out the first day.
5. Summer Jam at Watkins Glen [600,000+]. A huge hippy concert held at the Grand Prix auto circuit in Watkins Glen, New York, with bands like The Grateful Dead and the Allman Brothers.
4. Steve Wozniak’s 1983 US Festival [670,000] was a culture festival sponsored by one of the co-founders of Apple Computers, Steve Wozniak. It was held in California with great performers like Motley Crue, U2 and David Bowie.
3. Garth Brooks in Central Park [750,000] was a great country concert with excited and cheering “cowboys” in the audience. Brooks performed classics as “Friends in Low Places”, and “The Dance”.
2. New York Philharmonic in Central Park 1986 [800,000]. The largest classical concert that celebrated the rededication of the Statue of Liberty.
1. Rod Stewart at Copacabana Beach 1994 [3,500,000]. A New Years celebration featuring Rod Stewart with the largest concert crowd ever. The wonderful Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil was overcrowed with singing and celebrating audience.
It’s never easy to entertain a group of famished dev and creative people but our hosts Ross and Suze, did an awesome job of keeping the drinks flowing and the grill churning out oodles and oodles of grilled pulled pork, chicken, sausages and even haloumi cheese for some first timers.
Conversation swerved from football (this was transfer deadline day after all) to shop talk and as darkness fell, the intricacies of a rather silly jig required to trigger the automatic sensor that turned on the outdoor light. Dessert was a more cultured affair; what with Suze’s sticky toffee pudding providing an amazing end to the eating festivities!
Spirits were well and truly high as the evening wound down (evidenced by the construction of a Budweiser tower) and the laughs flowed until the coming of the taxis signalled the end of the night and everyone headed home. All in all, a great night to celebrate a lot of hard work by an awesome team.
After months of hard work and many a late night, we finally sent keeps out into the wild wild web on Friday. So what is ‘keeps’ we hear you say? keeps is a new way to collect pictures and videos from all your events and experiences in a single place.
We all record the same moment in different ways with pictures and videos. Whether it’s a video taken during a baby’s first steps from dad’s camera or a picture from mum’s phone, keeps is the place to send all those precious memories and have them saved forever. Share them with friends and family, have them share their stuff too, all in a beautiful and easy to use place on the web.
You can try keeps for yourself here. We will keep you up to date with the latest news, updates and some hi-jinx on our Twitter and Facebook pages.
There are some exciting additions to come over the next few months and we would love to hear from you about how you will be using keeps. This being early days, we understand that there may be a few niggles as well, so we’ve also set up a way for you to get in touch with us and send us your thoughts.
