Flickr passes one billion images
Flickr has hit that very significant milestone of having a billion images uploaded. Sometime yesterday the id assigned to uploaded images crossed that boundary, though I can't seem to find an image with exactly id 1000000000 - this could just be a problem with the API that it does not cope with the ten digit id's yet - or it could be that Flickr decided not to allocate this id for whatever reason.

Can you chart Flickr's progress further, like you did with this post: How many photos does Flickr host?
It would be interesting to see whether their growth flattened out?
Flickr has now reached somewhere over 2.2 billion images, so no it's not levelling out.
Looking back at what I originally wrote, there is of course another reason why I couldn't find the billionth photo - it may well be a photo that was marked as private.
