According to the event page, 2,367 of the 6,000 I/O attendees actually
checked in using the new version of Google+, then having the option to turn on
party mode, which shares all of their photos on a public stream. The event was
public because Google turned it into an “On Air” event.
A lot of folks showed up to see Train and Paul Oakenfold perform, and it
seems like quite a few of them shared photos to the
event page. It’s not known how long the party kept up the 8K photos per
hour, but it’s impressive none the less.
I have however noticed that a lot of photos not taken at the event made its
way to the stream. I’m not sure if that’s a bug, or if that’s a bi-product of
the event being “On Air.”
According to the slideshow from the event, 13,345 photos were shared in
total:
You’ll see the photos on the page sorted by popularity, which includes +1′s
and comments. It’s not surprising that the most popular picture if of Gundotra
and Sergey Brin, sporting the Glass.
Simeon Spearman on 11 Dec 12"Microcontent sharing takes this to the next level: What if you could break down an article into its constituent parts and share them independently? Perhaps one day aggregators could reassemble not just articles into a personalized newspaper, but also individual quotes, images and videos? I'm so excited about microcontent sharing that we've implemented it into the new Mashable.com. If you visit an article on the site and hover over an image or quote, we provide options to share that piece of content to your social networks. We hope to take this idea even further in future iterations, but it's a start."
