Well I think the new Flickr is ......., originally uploaded by Rusty Marvin (Dreaming of mid summer).
LR-11168 - plenty of dicussion on the new Flickr interface today then.
Mixed feelings but working with it to see how I get on and looking at alternatives.
For me the fact there is little logic behind the purpose of the new interface apart from its beautiful makes you wonder if the business actually knows what it is doing, ok you new broom at the top in Yahoo, but what else are they up to, what's next.
The disappointed on the whole thing is that we are no longer considered customers in the blurb. The layering of important functions will certainly hinder people putting on quality supporting text and therefore impacting on those who use that data set.
Does Flickr understand how Flickr is used, it appears not from the change and their customers feedback.
Makes you wonder if we all deleted our Exif data and did not bother with location data if the business would be impacted, surely somebody in Flickr/Yahoo is selling that stuff to marketeers, Camera companies and so on.
Do they understand their contributors, that's pretty clear they do not and how the different types of customers use the data store.
