Topic: Flickr

	Flickr - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Early incarnations of Flickr focused on a multiuser chat room with real-time photo exchange capabilities called FlickrLive for sharing photos; the successive evolutions focused more on the uploading and filing backend for individual users and the chat room was buried in the site map.
		Flickr allows photo submitters to categorize their images by use of keyword "tags" (a form of metadata), which allow searchers to easily find images concerning a certain topic such as place name or subject matter.
		Flickr also provides a "contact list" which can be used to control image access for a specific set of users in a way similar to that of LiveJournal.

	Wired News: Flickr Cracks Down on Screenshots
		At stake is a little-known Flickr policy of flagging accounts that contain mostly non-photographic images and preventing images from those accounts from appearing in public areas of the site, including search.
		As a result, many screenshots on Flickr are AWOL -- at least as far as the general public is concerned.
		In limiting non-photographic images, Butterfield suggested the issue was a leftover from Flickr's early efforts to prevent adult content from showing up in searches, and that the site needs to carefully balance the interests of the community against inappropriate uses.

	MacDevCenter.com -- What Is Flickr (and Hot Tips for Using It)
		Before Flickr came along, sharing photos meant a laborious and sometimes not very user-friendly process of creating albums, uploading them, and devising a means for people to navigate between them.
		Flickr's database structure means that every image is associated with its creator or owner first, then with any groups or sets it might have been added to, then with any free-text tags that might have been assigned to it, and finally with the electronic metadata that the camera added to the original snapshot.
		Flickr is one of those ideas that depends on interconnectivity.

	O'Reilly Network -- Stewart Butterfield on Flickr
		Flickr is a phenomenon, a fundamentally different way of using digital photography and the Internet.
		Flickr is part of something else too, something radical: the massive sharing of what we used to think of as private data.
		Koman: About the tagging, Flickr and del.icio.us are usually mentioned in the same breath of having pioneered this concept of "folksonomies." Adam Mathes calls this a shift in who creates the metadata from the author to the user.

		Flickr's traffic grew 448% to 3.4 million from December 2004 to December 2005, according to Internet measurement firm Nielsen/NetRatings.
		Flickr has a spare, hip look that displays photos larger and more stylishly than many others but isn't as simple to navigate as competitors such as Shutterfly and Kodak EasyShare Gallery.
		At the bottom of Flickr's home page are four thumbnail images of the most recently uploaded pictures from the Flickr community.

	FlickrBlog
		Flickr is a revolution in photo storage, sharing and organization, making photo management an easy, natural and collaborative process.
		The slightly geekier Yuan.CC set of Flickr tools, which includes GMiF (Google Maps in Flickr) and maps.yuan.cc has also updated to use the new API methods and it looks like adding location info to Flickr photos through syncing GPS tracklogs is around the corner.
		Flickr's great for exploring photos by photographer, tag, time, text and group, and now it's also great for exploring photos by place.

	The Friendster of photo sites - Salon
		On the photo-sharing site Flickr, instant and unlikely communities spring up around a wild universe of images, from cats and grocery day to giving birth.
		But on Flickr, you can mingle all your photos with similar images, creating an endlessly beguiling cross-pollination of photos that spark a host of unique communities.
		Flickr allows its more than 176,000 members to meet each other through both images and words in an ever-evolving visual playground.

	PC World - Digital Focus: Have Fun With Flickr
		Flickr is great for photo sharing and browsing--these tools make the service even better.
		I've recommended Flickr several times, and I hope you've already tried the service--either to share your own photos or to browse through other people's images.
		For me, the key to exploring Flickr is browsing tags and seeing where they lead me. Tagnautica, which also requires Flash 8, takes the premise of tag browsing to entirely new levels.

	oreilly.com -- Online Catalog: Flickr Hacks
		Flickr Hacks expands the fun and the utility of Flickr, Yahoo!'s popular digital photo-sharing service, by customizing this cutting-edge technology to store, sort, and share photos.
		Over two million registered Flickr users and counting have discovered the ease and fun of organizing their photo libraries, showing off their favorite pictures to the world, and securely sharing their private pictures with friends, family, or ad hoc groups.
		Releasing Flickr Hacks as a Rough Cuts title is a great initiative, though my major complaint about this is that the zip file of the code text for all the hacks promised on page 4 doesn't seem to be available on the O'Reilly site yet.

		Flickr, the popular photo-sharing web app, continues to innovate with their latest feature, geotagging.
		But after taking one look at some of the early activity that Flickr users are doing with it, combined with the additional magic of mapping and search that the Flickr folks have included, and you might wonder why every site isn’t clamboring to add tags and geotagging to their arsenal.
		Along with Flickr, Del.icio.us is a poster child of tagging, a simple feature whereby people attach words or phrases to an item.

	IFTF's Future Now: Flickr and "folksonomies"
		The innovative thing about Flickr is not that it lets you put pictures online, or lets others see them; what's new is that it allows other people to annotate pictures and add keywords.
		Flickr opens the door to collective, open source-like energy with photo metatagging.
		Second, Flickr doesn't have a formal taxonomy of tags that you apply to photos; people create their own, generating what Thomas Vander Wal calls "folksonomies," bottom-up taxonomies.

	Flickr Leech
		It only took about a week of daily paging to realize that my analytical mind could come up with a better way (a programmer's mind is filled with laziness and ways to accommodate that).
		Once I got the Interestingness functionality working, I decided it could also be fun to apply to some of my contacts, so I began to expand the project.
		While Interestingness is one function of the Flickr API exploited by this tool, do not assume that searches on a username will pull up their Interesting photos - it pulls up ALL of that user's photos.

		I didn't like Flickr for several reasons: 1) you have to login to see photos, 2) everyone you know has to make an account to see your photos, 3) you can only upload so many photos at one time, 4) it's not very easy to navigate.

		Fake and Butterfield started Flickr without a penny from venture capitalists, turning to family, friends and angel investors for seed money.
		Flickr blossomed so fast into the de facto photo album of the Web that it attracted the attention of Yahoo, which bought it for, reportedly, nearly $30 million in March 2005.

		And I gotta tell ya, the genius of Flickr is that, during their downtime, they put out a colouring contest.

		Flickr currently has the feel of a 'mom and pop shop' and it is hard to believe that this state of affairs will continue with the influx of more money and extra management.
		One of Flickr's many strengths (apart from the obvious technological ones) is that the designers always seemed to recognise the importance of white space.
		Flickr was cool because it wasn't too commercial and wasn't in your face with signing up for shit.
