Flickr Readies 333 Birthday Party

The photo community site has a party planned for Saturday, March 3rd, in San Francisco to celebrate Flickr's third birthday. (UPDATE: Valleywag provided an Flickr 333 event offers the Flickr Kids with Cameras, a non-profit organization that teaches the art of photography to marginalized children in communities around the world. Photographs for the auction have been Imagekind. Flickr touted the numbers it has achieved during its third year of existence. A spokesperson said Flickr now has 23 million unique visitors per month, who have posted over 400 million photographs on the site. Late in 2006, Flickr brought some new features online. Flickr's mobile site came back to life at http://m.flickr.com, and they enabled a "guest pass" feature for private photos, allowing them to be shared with non-Flickr users. Visitors to Flickr can search the site by camera model as well. That feature gives people an idea of how a given camera will perform in the hands of a competent photographer, by showing pictures taken with it by Flickr members.
