Bump Hits 50 Million Downloads; What's Being Shared? [INFOGRAPHIC]

Bump, the app that makes it simple to exchange information between mobile devices, has surpassed 10 million active users and 50 million downloads.

The company's technology allows two users to "bump" their phones and exchange contact information. With the iOS and Android apps, users can also friend or follow each other on LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook. And late last year, the company introduced a way to share music by bumping.

"Pretty quickly, we realized we hadn't just built a contact information exchange app," Bump CEO Dave Lieb explained in a blog post. "What we really had built was a way to share any type of content and interact with others, physically, in the real world, as opposed to just the virtual worlds of social networks and email."

Today, Bump shared some of its growth and revealed the most-shared games and songs on its platform via the infographic below. The company says 15 million things are bumped every week, resulting in 17.12 photos shared per second.

Bump Technologies raised $16 million in funding in a Series B round last year. Bump counts Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia Capital, Sherpalo, SV Angel and Y Combinator as investors.
