Geograph is two years old today! We recently filled 50% of all the grid squares, and have over 350,000 images submitted by 3750 photographers, all available for reuse under the Creative Commons licence. Recent press coverage and the Yahoo “Find of the Year” award have driven up usage recently, and it won’t be long before we routinely average 1000 new photos a day.

It’s been a pretty good year for the project, with the Ordnance Survey sponsorship deal, new servers coming online and increased publicity.

Though I’ve found my spare time quite stretched recently, I hope to have the tagging features complete “real soon now”. Communications and server maintenance have mopped up a lot of time recently though. Beyond that, we’ll be working with Ordnance Survey to further develop the education potential of the site over the rest of the year, and hopefully rolling out an improved site design too.

(Edit: Geograph was Radio 2’s site of the day!)
