According to Media Culpa a blog that apparently obsessively tracks these things, photo-sharing site Flickr has hit the 5 billionth photo milestone today with the above, uploaded �by Flickr �user yeoaaron. Media culpa blogger�Hans Kullin also points out that Flickr has been growing at about 1 billion photos per year, over the past 3 years, eclipsed in market share by social giant Facebook which hit 15 billion photos uploaded in April of 2009.
As Facebook claims it was uploading over 2.5 billion photos a month in February of 2010, we're loosely guestimating there are somewhere between 30�and 50 billion photo uploads on the site currently. I've contacted both Flickr and Facebook for more info and will update as soon as they respond.
