A small but vocal minority on Flickr are already staging cyber-protests at the prospect of a Microsoft takeover of Flickr's owner, Yahoo. Flickr is one of several popular Web 2.0 sites owned by Yahoo that loyal users fear will suffer under Microsoft ownership.

Beware of those contributions on Flickr and Myspace Usenix When security consultant Dan Klein was culling decades-old snapshots for his digital scrap book, he specifically omitted photos taken during his college years, when some of his behaviors weren't exactly role-model material for his offspring. Left unscanned, for instance, was the picture of him wearing a tee-shirt bearing a marijuana leaf or another one showing him brandishing a six-inch switchblade while sitting in front of the pelt of an endangered animal.â¦

I just fixed another bug in the category processing in Flickr-to-Twitter. It's amazing that such a small piece of code can have so many bugs.  This time, the problem was if you had two tags on a photo, one of them was the one that was supposed to let your picture pass, and the other was a tag for some other purpose. You'd think the pic would flow through to Twitter.  Well, it should.  But it didn't.  Now it does.

This is interesting .  43Things has tags as well!  A lot of people are using the Flickr dynamic and bold font treemap view which I'm not sure is good or bad. I've never been fully happy with this view but a lot of people seem to like it (so what do I know!)

Wow, this is really really coooooool.  The Library of Congress is partnering with Flickr, releasing pictures that it believes are not copyrighted, through Flickr. One of the fantastic side-effects of that is that there's an RSS 2.0 feed of those pictures that connects perfectly to FlickrFan.  If you click on this link on the machine that FlickrFan is running on, you'll automatically subcribe to the Library of Congress feed on Flickr. This is one of those moments when the standards are working, really well.  PS: If for some reason it doesn't work, try clicking on this link to get the latest update (v0.42), then click on the link above again.
