Flickr: Year in Photos 2011
Posted: 2nd of January, 2012What moment in 2011 stands out in your mind? The space shuttle launching into space one final time? An earthquake and tsunami that, in a matter of minutes, devastated a country? A royal wedding destined to be talked about for decades? As we wrap up the year, Flickr has pulled together a Year in Photos 2011 Gallery that covers several of the moving, emotionally charged, and surprising images that captivated us this year. Some of these images were captured using the most sophisticated digital cameras to date, while others were taken using the latest smartphones. Regardless, each photo captures a moment perfectly. Of course, this wouldn’t be possible without the help of our Flickr community, who helped us reach new heights in 2011, including more than 6 billion photos now stored on Flickr and more than 200 million images now available through our Creative Commons service. Many thanks to all of the Flickr members who provided photos for this collection, and here’s to 2012 and capturing even more memorable moments.

Ross, Front-end Manager, Flickr
Posted: 16th of September, 2011Ross Harmes, Front-end Manager, Flickr
My name is Ross Harmes, I'm the Front-end manager here at Flickr and I've been at Yahoo! almost 5 years now. I think Yahoo! right now has the best combination of amazing properties to work on and unbelievably talented engineers. The people I work with here are some of the best I've ever worked with in the world.
We're in the process of speeding up the site as a whole. Especially getting Flickr faster to people internationally. We actually took a page that takes 6 seconds to load on average and knocked it down to a about a second a half which is a big difference.
One of my favorite stories is.. we have have a photograph that was on the Flickr front page and it was up there for 5 years and we went back to that photographer 5 years later and asked how it changed his life. And this guy went from being a cement layer to now a professional photographer just because of the publicity he got from that one photo. I love that story.
Flickr's great, I mean right now we have around 6 billion photos and that's almost a photo for every man, woman, and child on earth. We have people uploading photos from every single country in the world. We're trying to get into more languages so we can have even more people around the world. In terms of one photo site on the web that really brings everyone together, I think it's got to be Flickr.
