The Swedish National Heritage Board has recently attained and passed the imposing number of 2000 contacts on Flickr.
By: Nordiska museet, Photo: Birgit Brånvall. CC (by-nc-nd) Nordiska museet is one of our contacts on Flickr.
Imagine that so many Flickr members – individuals as well as institutions – are especially interested in our images – and we in theirs. When marking the Swedish National Heritage Board as a contact, they can easily follow our recent uploads of new photos and keep track of our photostream on Flickr Commons.
When we add our contacts back, a random display of their buddy icons is shown on our Profile page. The diversity of the pictures shown by our Flickr contacts is just amazing. A wonderful global picture cocktail, so to speak. View some more samples:

Our contact number 2000 turned out to be ”lame2010”, who shows nice photos from Brasil.
Thank you all our contacts and friends – it’s just great to share pictures with you on Flickr. :-)
