As I was posting my previous post, I noticed that my photo had an ID number close to 100 million (to be exact, 99,999,468) so I checked the Flickr site’s most recent photos and they all had numbers just above 100 million. In other words Flickr this morning passed 100 million photos.

Here is number 100,000,000:

Technorati tags: flickr, 100 million.

The Swedish celebrity/gossip magazine Hänt Bild sent its latest issue to our home as part of a direct marketing campaign. The envelope seemed to have been opened and resealed because the mailman couldn’t keep his hands off it.

The text on the envelope reads “Sorry, I couldn’t restrain myself. / The mailman”

Below, the real mailman clarified: “Not written by the mailman, Täby”.

Technorati tags: advertising, marketing, media.

Journalisten reports that the Swedish daily Hallands Nyheter will change from berliner to tabloid format no later than April 2007. The primary reason is a decision from Friday last week, to move to a new printing house.

The Guardian writes about how they managed to track a person’s location through their cell phone.

“There is no trace of what I’m doing on her phone. I can’t quite believe my eyes: I knew that the police could do this, and telecommunications companies, but not any old random person with five minutes access to someone else’s phone. I can’t find anything in her mobile that could possibly let her know that I’m checking her location.”

Bodström-ish stuff.
