A few weeks back I said that Flickr hit the 10,000,000 geotagged photo mark, well we’ve done it again. Only this time it’s the 10 million public photos mark …
Public geotagged photos: 10,083,139 All geotagged photos: 13,740,343
Some quick sums gives us … hummm …
57 Days since that last post.
3,740,284 new geotagged photos in 57 days.
About 65,619 per day.
2,734 per hour.
45 per minute.
1 newly geotagged photo every 1.333 seconds
Which means …
a) geotagging rate is going up slightly.
b) I need to make a slightly wider background image to display the total.
c) and, get rid of paging on the main map and do something else instead.
To get rid of paging (which is a pain) would it be an idea to show the most interesting (in a Flickr way) photos first, and as you zoom in show more of the less interesting ones.
That’s the way that this guy (http://kmlphotos.metaltoad.com/) seems to do it and I think it works a treat.
