Flickr Hits Two Billion Photo Uploads - SendMeRSS

Two billion photo uploads on Flickr. That’s a lot of f****n’ photos. You’ll be glad to know that Flickr staffers have spent the past weeks placing bets on the exact date and time for passing the milestone, which went down sometime on Sunday.

So the user who made that fateful move to upload the photo that has gone down in history? yukesmooks (this would be a very inopportune time to have a bad username). And for all that hard work, she didn’t even get a prize. Booooo! Even Revver and Stardoll gave away prizes to users that have helped them reach their milestones.

So what would have made this magical moment even more hilarious?

If yukesmooks were a first time user. It’d be like that non-helpful husband that finally goes to the grocery store and gets 3 tons of confetti dumped on him for being the 1 millionth customer.

If the photo were anything but what it is. For instance, a really blurry picture that never should have been uploaded to begin with. Or one of those really annoying close ups of someone’s eyeball, that so many photographers seem to think is intriguing.

Got any more ideas on how this could’ve been a more eventful occurrence? Leave some comments already.

it would've been more hilarious if the 1 billionth photo was in violation of the ToS (inappropriate or in copyright violation) and they had to take it down..;;
