      Some interesting Flickr news today, first some old news I only just heard:
      the <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/88646149@N00/2000000000/">two
      billionth photo</a> was uploaded this month.  Impressively, whilst it took
      three and a half years for the first billion pictures to be uploaded, the
      second billion took only <em>three months</em>.  (<a
        href="http://www.kullin.net/2007/11/flickrs-second-billion-took-three.html">source</a>).
    </p>
    <p>
      Second, the Flickr team have just added <a
      href="http://blog.flickr.com/en/2007/11/20/a-page-on-flickr-for-every-place-in-the-world/">some
      new features</a>, specifically a <a href="http://flickr.com/map">world map
      with popular tags overlaid</a> and a new <a
      href="http://flickr.com/places/">Places</a> interface, providing a summary
      of a particular location.  The new map has temporarily lost the ability to
      zoom in straight away (press Search then Go to get the zoom bar), but the
      Places interface is amazing fun.
