flickr is getting really good these daysยปWhen 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.
