flickr is getting really good these days

When they launched with that funky Flash chat thing, I admit I didn't really get Flickr. I instinctively kept my big fat ignorant gob shut, though, because they were obviously fixing things and adding other, cleverer things almost every day. In other words, they were doing a beta like a beta oughta be.

I've stumbled back to them in the last couple of weeks, initially because I got really into browsing their tag system. I now have an RSS feed of cute in my Bloglines feed, which has been a non-stop kawaii mix of puppies, babies and hamsters). Then I got dragged into using their picture uploading bookmarklet, which rocked. And now I've just found their flickr-<blog interface, which is similarly goodly.

I'm still a bit edgy about handing over all my photos to someone else's server, but as far as being a scheme to easily make the photos I want public, it's shaping up really well.

life imitates sterling

From this week's Popbitch

Tatu are no more but their infamous svengali Ivan Shapovalov hasn't abandoned his devotion to underage girls.

Ivan's new act is called Nato (nATo - like tATu) - a 16 year old Albanian singer who looks no more than 12. And instead of a schoolgirl outfit Nato dresses in a burkha - all you can see on her super-cool promo posters are eyes and microphone.

Leggy Starlitz lives!
