Over a Million Flickr Photos Geotagged in 24 Hours

A quick follow on the yesterdays post about geotagging in Flickr - it appears that it has taken the world by storm, with 1.2 million photos being placed on the map in the last 24 hours. Hows that for proof that you've got something pretty hot on your hands in terms of new functionality.

I'm really hoping that this (and all the other great functionality Flickr has) will be the tipping point for some of the people holding out on using this site, in favor of something much less convenient (you know who you are....). I hadn't actually realized how big this site was until I read the following info on Techcrunch

Flickr continues to rock along, with 4.5 million registered users and 17 million unique visitors per month. They have just under 230 million total photos uploaded and 900,000 new photos are uploaded daily on average

17 million unique visitors a month? I'd be happy with 170!!
