![]() As I mentioned earlier, personally my own engagement numbers are up even higher - but to hear it told by a loud, vocal contingent of about 3,000 members in the Flickr Help Forum, 99% of users hate this change. Now, number of photos uploaded is only one metric to measure when looking at the effect of this change. So, roughly, as measured in the six days before and the six days after Flickr’s new site design, uploads are up about 71% site wide. So, in the 6 days prior to the change, users uploaded about 47 million photos to the site. This photo is one hour short of six days from the changes. ![]() In this case I found this photo taken by my contact Jazzyblue TR. Next, I went and found an older photo uploaded about six days *before* the change was implemented. The time measured is about six hours short of six days. So roughly between today and the changes made by Flickr, users have uploaded almost 80 million photos to the site. This photo is upload number 8,855,853,505 This photo by my contact rollerphoto works. Next, I went and looked at a recent photo uploaded today. It is Flickr photo number 8,776,546,808 (you see this number in the url of the photo). This is what I’m using as a baseline image. This was within minutes of the change as implemented on Flickr. In this case I found this photo taken by Veronica Belmont posted at about 3pm PST on the date of the change, May 21. To measure this, I tried to find a photo about as close to the redesign implementation as possible. ![]() My measurement is approximate, but would seem to indicate that the number of uploads to Flickr since the site redesign have increased *dramatically*, about 71%. I wanted to see if users were uploading more or less photos since the changes. Because of this structure, it is fairly easy to measure the pace of uploads at any given time on Flickr. One of the interesting things about Flickr, is that each photo on Flickr is assigned a unique ascending number on upload that signifies its numerical place as a Flickr upload. To hear it told by the haters, *everybody* on Flickr hates the new design and they are all leaving in droves for other sites on the web. By my own estimation, activity (comments/faves) have increased approximately 294% on my stream since the redesign.ĭespite a loud, vulgar, disrespectful chorus, by a small group of torch and pitchfork type haters in the Flickr Help Forum, I’ve wondered how the larger Flickr community has felt about the site changes. Recently I blogged about the new design on Flickr noting that engagement on my own personal photostream had skyrocketed. ![]()
