Roughly 1998, cobbled-together PC and Mac Performa While drinking my coffee this morning, I decided to take a look at Flickr. I’m pretty sure I’ve ranted about my love/hate relationship with Flickr over the years, so I won’t rehash it now. I was looking at stats, and this image is my second all-time most popular...

Flickr Back in 2005, I signed up for an account on Flickr. I wanted to be able to share albums of photos with friends and family, and Flickr did that incredibly well. Eventually, I started making photos public, and discovered the Flickr community. I’ve had exactly one photo make it to Explore, and that was... Continue Reading →

Cool upgrades to Flickr. I'm hoping for a redesign of the stream page.

It's "word-of-mouth" for the 21st... Continue Reading →
via blog.flickr.net Flickr says it's making some changes in 2012. Hopefully, it will be enough to save them from Yahoo's sinking ship. They're getting rid of some features... Most of which I've never used. One I've never heard of. Are you going to miss any of 'em? There's been talk about Google+ being a better... Continue Reading →
