A History of Flickr
Ant writes "USA Today has an interesting look back at how Flickr was born. From the article 'Caterina Fake knew she was on to something when one of the engineers at her Vancouver, British Columbia-based online game start-up created a cool tool to share photos and save them to a Web page while playing. "It turned out the fun was in the photo sharing," she says. Fake scrapped the game. She and her programmer husband, Stewart Butterfield, transformed the project into Flickr. In less than two years, the photo-sharing site -- now owned by Internet giant Yahoo! -- has turned into one of the Web's fastest-growing properties.'"
She lives on 123 Fake Street.
Yea, because there aren't any voyeurs on the internet.

I've come to realise that only 5% of the site is unsafe as well, mostly to do with porn not being porn but a man wearing suspenders over his legs and face squatting in disturbing poses.

I just want to let you know how impressed I am by the photo of you and your team. It's so professional and I've never seen that sort of photo before. It makes your website look professional, sensible and reputable. Perhaps what is most striking is how it doesn't look stupid at all. In fact the first thing I said to myself was "now there's a business team photo that doesn't look at all like it's a fake stock photo, not a tiny bit, rather it looks like an impromptu shot of the team hard at work, or else at an after-work cock-sucking-in-a-circle party". I look forward to conducting business with you soon, primarily based upon that photo of you and your team, as there was little other information available on your website, but I know how business is thesedays and who really has the time to update their website anyway? Regards, regards, and all and sundry.
