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.

LR-11233 - Back to the wall of steel and trash-man, one thing I did notice in Sheffield is how clean the streets are, not only in areas such as by the station but just generally. Hat's off to the team that perform that role.

Between a Rock and a Banana

Between a Rock and a Banana, originally uploaded by Rusty Marvin (Dreaming of mid summer).

LR-10656 - Bit busy at the moment with stuff and wondering about life the universe and everything all at the same, bit like being between a rock and a banana (more like banana skin). Before you even think about asking nope (it was not mine) it was just there and wanted to get a shot of the cliff and Stag Rock, why just because. Oh why is it named Stag Rock, well according to a story a Stag leaped onto it during a hunt.

HaPpY Cliché Saturday

A bit of a tune recommend by Comrade foot God's Great Banana Skin nothing wrong with a bit of Chris Rea at anytime

There are a few hundred floating around on my cloud storage, but I'll try not to bore you with a barrage of yachts of all shapes and sizes and the occasional wind surfer. PS Still got more scarecrows to :)
