![]() ![]() If you care for the longevity of your photos then this is not the product for you anymore. I’m sure yahoo will find a convenient way to say it’s my fault but I don’t care, Flickr used to be a simple product to use and that was its beauty, yahoo have turned it into a behemoth and when once loyal users can no longer login to their accounts it turned into an epic failure. The new complex method of Yahoo’s interruption to the login process is frustrating and unnecessary, it’s not like Flickr is a bank is it? To repeatedly check you are human once isn’t too much but it repeatedly checks over and over again, sometimes less than 5 seconds between each attempt. After several attempts it became apparent they deleted my account! Fair enough, I wasn’t using them for a while and my photos took up space valuable to them, but this somewhat destroys the concept of a safe place to store your photos. I decided to login to see if they had improved the areas which caused me to leave and to enjoy a review of old photos. View, share and post comments to a photo. Pin profile, albums, groups to startscreen. I used to be a fan but stopped using it a few years ago. Sign in your Flickr account and manage your photostream, albums, favorites, groups, contacts. It was the first big picture sharing web platform, starting in 2004 (same year Facebook started)… And it’s kept itself simple and to the point: it’s all about sharing pictures… As a Ansel Adam’s once wrote, “Photography, as a powerful medium of expression and communications, offers an infinite variety of perception, interpretation and execution.” This is what Flickr is all about… If you like taking pictures and want to share simply with others, without getting caught up in social media gybe, and scope some serious talent, this platform is probably for you. If you like someone’s work, like it and/kr leave a comment. Post, leave a description (or not) and then move on. Forget Instagram… Forget Facebook… Forget all those other websites that let you share photographs with other people… Flickr has it all: professionals, amateurs, enthusiasts, poets, collectors, artists, scientists, universities, skaters, pranksters, people wishing to simply post pictures of whatever it is that entices them… The list goes on… And it’s done simply, without bells or whistles. ![]()
