The above is the boring 2 billionth photo uploaded by “yukesmooks” to Flickr. What is it? A tree stump? No, it is a gum tree. Check out a page full of gum trees in Flickr. The post has already received more than 80 comments. yukesmooks is delighted, “Wow!!! I didn’t even know! I’ve never received so many comments before. Thank you!!!!“
Two billion is a lot of photos. The sheer size is a challenge for Microsoft to reproduce it. And Microsoft is always late in the game. They just watch others success and try to emulate them. They think they were successful once (Windows and Office), so they would be successful again by proving a better mouse trap. We will see.
Three to five million photos are uploaded to Flickr everyday. You can find pictures of just about anything on earth. I typed “statue of liberty” and there were 58,00 results. How about “sexy girl”? You will find more than 60,000 results.

Facebook claims to have more than 4 billion photos and more than eight million photos are uploaded daily. But I don’t think you can find pictures of every thing under the sun in Facebook.
