File this under the co-creative power of passionate users:
When we were doing our projections for how many photos Flickr members would geotag, we though that we’d hit a million in the first month, maybe even as fast as two weeks. Instead, 24 hours in, there were 1,234,384 geotagged photos (and now more than 1.6 million geotagged photos as I write this, about 9 hours later).Geotagging - one day later
The question to all you web 2.0 companies, or VC’s investing in these companies, are you still measuring eyeballs? If you are you are going to get crushed by the companies that are measuring engagement and co-creation.
Cheers,
Karl

I was amazed by the interface that makes it so easy to batch-process all the pictures you want (though a lot of detail lacks if you zoom in too much)
IMO once again the Flickr team magically managed somehow to tap into its gaming roots, and playfully provide new enhancements.
