In June 2007 I posted to this blog regarding the fact that membership to 1 Million had reached 400 and that I was very proud to have that many members in the group.
In December 2007 I posted again, this time amazed by the fact that the groups membership had reached 1500.
Today I am looking at the group and seeing membership teetering just below the 5000 point! At the time of writing 1 Million is the fastest growing group on flickr.
It's wonderful to have a dream of doing something that could possibly make a difference in the world we live in, and turn that dream into a reality. Sometimes just having an idea can make a difference. Now there are 5000 other people all over the world who share this vision and are prepared to do their bit to help.
In the beginning there were people that told me that this group was completely unrealistic in it's aims - that there was no way I could create a group with 1 million members and 1 million images in. It may well be the case that this is a very long way off, but I hold tight to the view that it is achievable.
Recently, the group has seen two other people come on board to both help the group grow and moderate the images and comments, for which I am truly thankful (Linda & Rick take a bow).
There are two big things planned for the very near future:
- The group page will be getting a major overhaul, with some innovative ideas for the page
- We will pick a random member and conduct an in-depth interview with them (posted on the blog) to give them extra exposure and showcase further images they have.
Onwards and upwards!
