Flickr Online Photo Service Reviewed

kschoenwandt writes "I have been an early fan of Flickr and while I am by far not as much of a shutter bug as most users seem to be, I enjoy the features and use it regularly. Taking some time out reading, I noticed that I am not the only one impressed: The Globe and Mail published a piece on it as did The Christian Science Monitor. Cool!"

Andvanced piracy???

[koi88]

... I just read on their website.
But, unfortunately, it's just advanced privacy:-(
While also nice, we unfortunately will have to resort to our standard piracy tools...

Re:Christian science monitor?

The Christian Scientists are the people who don't believe in doctors.

Apparently, this site doesn't have any photos of doctors. Hence, their approval.

Ad Rates

Hi! I was wondering what the rates are for getting my business mentioned as a front-page Slashdot story? At first I thought that I might have to insert open-source code into my commercial product and claim it as my own, but now that seems to not be necessary.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I like flickr

I like flickr. I like their attitude- here's the first couple lines from a recent email:

Hello Most Excellent Flickr Beta Testr!

This is just a reminder to let you know that, not only do you rule, but ...

I also like the tag approach to categorizing photos. Like del.icio.us for bookmarks, tagging lets you get orthogonal with your groupings (i.e. the same photo can belong to multiple groups- generally a useful thing).

Re:Web 2.0 anyone?

[dubiousmike]

Internet 2 says it wants fight Web 2 at the flag pole after school.

Well, you know...

[ultramk]

In Korea, online photo services are only for old people.

I hope

[Retep Vosnul]

That if this service is ever introduced in the Netherlands they pick another name for it.

Phoneticly it sounds a bit ... poofy.
