Destroy itself first.

I don’t like graphics or HDR or excessive Photoshopping. To me, they “dilute the true photography experience”. But you know, lots of people disagree, and I’m not going to get all up in arms trying to rid Flickr of them. I’ve learned to live with the fact that other people want to use Flickr in a different way than I use it, and I’m certain you’re going to have to live with that, too.

Flickr has been more reliable with static images as hosted for a blog than Zooomr has. Zooomr is a small start up without the resources that Flickr has. I love Zooomr and use it every day. I also love Flickr and use it every day too.

Of the two services, at present I find Flickr more reliable for blogging.

I used to host my blog images on Zooomr and hopefully will again someday.

Flickr is not going to reverse this decision…not gonna happen. $$ to be made, folks. the facts.

I remember everyone got up in arms when yahoo bought’em and you had to migrate your acct to yahoo email. That protest lasted about 10 days.

Petition signed.

I suspect that just getting video added to the site took tremendous resources and, now that it’s up, they’ll have the resources to put toward fine-tuning how video works (user and group filtering, for example).

As far as the observation that the response has been largely negative…I’m not so sure. I think there’s a very vocal group who have reacted negatively, but most folks are either reserving judgment (like me), like video, or don’t really care, so you really don’t hear from them.

I can’t disagree with the option of searching for photos only or viewing only photos and I’ll bet flickr will add those features, but I don’t really understand the sentiment against the new feature. Guess I’m not as hardcore as some.
