New from Flickr (part x):

“Montreal” Tag Slideshow. Slideshows of everything, accessible in dozens of ways, smooth as a baby’s bottom, and amazing potential for serendipity.

New from Flickr:

Organizr. It’s starting to be an important mystery of the age how the lovely folks at Ludicorp continue to get so far ahead of the others in this area. It’s not that much of a mystery, because having met and otherwise interacted with folks there it’s clear there’re some serious talents in the mix. But no one else seems really to be trying. Is there some business school mantra out there that says “just let a rabbit get WAY out front of everyone else and then scramble to keep up later”? Or am I missing data here - are there others that I should know about?

Trying out

FeedBurner for a bit. Not sure yet as to the extent of the service, but I think offloading the details of this stuff is a good idea. And the stuff they’re working on with Flickr seems very interesting. Extremely interesting, in fact.

From the new

FlickrBlog: Flickr Uploader for OS X. A convenient interface to several Flickr functions on the desktop.

In a related matter, Flickr should really be sponsored by a cellphone carrier or manufacturer or something - they have singlehandedly motivated me to get a cameraphone.

Jeffrey Veen:

Will you be my friend? Trying to tease something out of the void that the social networking sites have become. So far it seems that the folks at Flickr are the only ones who have a clue. The rest of them - Tribe, LinkedIn, Friendster, Orkut - seem to have a classic case of high-ego startup syndrome, suggesting that they actually believe they’re smarter than everyone else and can actually do it all themselves with limited if any interoperability. I hope to be proven wrong.

Interesting:

TypeKey, from Six Apart, makers of Movable Type and TypePad. I’ve been starting to think that Flickr might have something to offer in this area as well. My personal view is that they should work together and figure out how to federate this in some way. It would go a long way to calming fears that will arise from those who don’t want to rely on a single, central server from a single company.
