there’s been a lot of chatter online about flickr<\/a> in recent days. with their new 3,000 contact limit, 75 tag maximum and the mandatory merging of your yahoo! id with your flickr account. as with most change, i’ve yet to hear anything<\/em> positive about these upcoming developments. just today, i read a blog post<\/a> by Kara at Colors…Pretty<\/a> which really summed up the whole flickr user experience for me. a quote:<\/p>\n

New word: flickrality<\/em>
\nDefinition: The version of reality where you rock at taking photos.<\/div>\n

i’d like to add a little something to that definition:<\/p>\n

New word: flickrality<\/em>
\nDefinition: The version of reality where you rock at taking photos and we make it that way so you don’t ever want to leave us… even when we do bad things.<\/div>\n

don’t get me wrong, i love flickr. it’s introduced me to so many things: new friends, new (old) cameras, new techniques, new talent. but, i’m neither a flickr fangirl nor a staunch anti-change protestor. i don’t really care if i have to merge my yahoo! id or people could put santa hats on my photos over christmas. i appreciate the site and community around it for what it is: a place to pimp my photos and get my ego stroked by random strangers.
\nall i do have to complain about is the lack of an archive\/download feature. if my hard drive crashes, at the very least, i want to be able to reinstate the photos i’ve uploaded over the past two years.
\nlove it or loathe it, flickr is good. it’s fun and it works 99% of the time. that’s a more than you can say for a lot of online services. including this blog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
