☛ The new Flickr: Goodbye customers, hello ads | TechHive
Derek Powazek takes a good look at some of the points that have been annoying me about yesterday’s Flickr changes. Considering that I get to keep my Pro account for some unknown time period – and thus get stats, unlimited space and no ads for the very reasonable fee of $25 a year – it’s the design changes that bother me most.
The positive opinions I’ve been hearing seem to mostly come from people with large displays. On a 13” laptop I get a jumble of photos with too little negative space. I get a tiny photo on the photo’s actual page (smaller than the 500px photo of yore, way smaller than the nice 640px we had before the change) and if I click the photo to see it larger it’ll look like ass because of the resizing. That’s not new, though, photos always looked like ass on the view-on-black page. Only the pre-resized photos, like the two(!) “medium” sizes of 500px and 640px, ever looked good.
So, I’ve all my photos on a website that makes it very hard to enjoy them. I’ve a harder time seeing at a glance what interesting photos my contacts have uploaded and what “community action” (really, it’s just comments and such, but the community aspect, one of the reasons I enjoyed Flickr so much, seems to have a much diminished role on New Flickr) has been happening on my photos and photos I’ve commented on.
The sad bit is that I think I’ll probably keep paying for a Pro account as long as I can, despite not really wanting to upload any more photos to Flickr. 500px offers a Plus account that seems to have what matters and costs the same reasonable $25 a year as a Flickr Pro account. I’ll need to look around some more, though.

☛ kukkurovaca: So, yes, we all know Yahoo is terrible and stupid, but...
Tell me, which do you think is a more functional, reliable web service: Tumblr or Flickr? (Hint: It’s definitely, definitely Flickr.)
Now, I know a lot of people are disappointed with the way Flickr has stagnated under Yahoo, and there are plenty of problems with it. But Tumblr is a…
Again, say what you want about Flickr, but at least it works. I love Tumblr, but Tumblr probably deserves more jokes poked at it for features not working than Flickr deserves for not evolving things.

Carne asada, motherfuckers.

Welp. Anyone else anticipate some “we own the rights to the stuff you post now” bull-ish to arise from this?
I dunno. Yahoo! They’re the guys who own Flickr. Say what you want about Flickr (and, yes, I’ll make jokes about Flickr, but I still love it dearly) and I can’t remember a single rights grab controversy about Twitter. Unlike most any big social site on the web.

I’m nothing if not thorough. A good man. And thorough.
