Wikipedia puts the total African giraffe population at 110,000-150,000: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giraffe. So there are more pictures of giraffes than actual giraffes.

#22I can't wait for RiderOfGiraffes to get wind of this project ... http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=RiderOfGiraffes
Nothing to do with me, but I watch with interest. Sadly I can't send a photo of my giraffes because she's store-bought.
Sorry - typo and it's too late to correct it.

Singular. I only own one, although I have ridden several.

Get artistic and draw a picture of your giraffe!

same applies on counting human photos on social site altogether (flickr, facebook, tweetpic, etc.) would be far more than 6,819,100,000 (population of the world - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_population)

#25Since The Sheep Market http://www.thesheepmarket.com/ paid people on Mechanical Turk 2c each for their sheep drawings I guess this means he's got nearly $16,000 of free labour so far.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_population <- Anyone know the reason for the UN's low and medium estimates having serious downturns in population in the next century? Is it because of lowering child-birth rates, or because of expectations of resources/diseases, etc...?

Keep in mind that every picture on that site is hand-made. The instructions disallow photos of actual giraffes or images created on/by a computer.
How many drawings and human-shaped sculpture are there on those social sites? I doubt there's more than the 6.8 billion you quote from wikipedia.

#29Earlier quoted context omitted.
There is this one submitter of Giraffes[1], responsible for two percent of all German giraffes, or this one[2], responsible for nearly five percent. I didn’t even have to look all that hard to find them. [1] http://www.onemilliongiraffes.com/search?name=Sanne [2] http://www.onemilliongiraffes.com/search?name=Ediktonia
[1] "I found 4 085 giraffes created by people named Sanne!" [2] "I found 9 988 giraffes created by people named Ediktonia!" The actual statistic is that 2% of all Germans who submitted giraffes were named Sanne and 5% were named Ediktonia. It doesn't say they were all the same person.
Click through the giraffes. They are in fact all by the same person (or by different people who are all the same age and live in the same place).
