Using numbers of Creative Commons Flickr photos from my post on April 29th, here is a table showing the number of photos being added per hour under a Creative Commons license. I didn’t originally record numbers for the “Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs” license. I either missed it or it wasn’t on the page.
If the submission rate of Creative Commons licensed photo submissions were to continue at current rate over 3 million CC photos will be added every year.
I haven’t come across a page that lists Flickr’s total number of hosted photos, but they must be adding hard drives at a furious pace.

Update 2005-05-22 10:30: I just was at the Flickr creative commons page and noticed that the page has not been updated since I checked it two days ago. The photos and the number of photos under each license is identical (I made sure to refresh). So I don’t know if it is broken or they only update at some weird interval.
