Amazing Flickr stats

Flickr was down for some maintenance last night. While they were out they posted some interesting stats about the online photo sharing portal:

  • We serve 12,000 photos a second at peak times — that’s 2,654,208,000 bits each and every second (8:20 PM)
  • We set an all-time upload record yesterday: 2,070,075 photos in 24 hours! (8:40 PM)
  • The Flickrverse has over 8.5 million registered members (9:00 PM)
  • Over 10 million unique tags have been added to photos on Flickr (9:20 PM)
