Amazing Flickr coincidence story

January 25, 2005 by Michael Boyle

Amazing Flickr coincidence story

on the FlickrBlog today. A guy went to Tokyo and took a photo of a woman who was herself shooting a photo of a street scene and posted it on Flickr. Someone who knew the woman informed her and she signed up for Flickr and posted the shot SHE was taking, already immortalized by the first guy.

    Howdy!

    Coincidence my eye! Given the number of user Flickr probably has and that it is photography based it is merely within the possible.

    If you get 100 people into the same room, it is better than 50% that there will be two of them who share the same birthday.

    Same sort of probabilities working with Flickr.
