Once I had a discussion with an engineer of the Photos team on Facebook. We were discussing a probable employment opportunity for myself on the photos team. My resume was below average as per their requirement. I was told that facebook holds more than 85% of the world's social photos, much much more than Flickr. But still it had a team of less than 30 engineers doing all the stuff. Flickr on the other hand, to manage a much smaller product had around 150 engineers. This was a year ago, so the stats might have changed. I just thought this was relevant to this thread.
