Well, make me an offer. You might find it surprisingly affordable. -- nm - Melissa Mayer Feb 3, 15:55 5
- See, the salary and debt obligations rule it out as an actual option for me, until I win the lottery. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 3, 16:02
- who knew marissa's twin she didn't know she had was so cunning? -- nm - b. Feb 3, 15:58 3
  - The wrong first name makes me think of a Nigerian scam. -- nm - Mop Feb 3, 16:30
  - It would explain much. -- nm - Reagen Feb 3, 16:00 1
    - could well be a better ceo. just her lack of awareness of the optics of some of the reported employee spending is really disappointing. -- nm - b. Feb 3, 16:05
Hasn't imgur pretty much taken over? -- nm - Qale Feb 3, 15:04 3
- in order of photo links I see used in various places: instagram - a whole lot of room - flickr - less room - imgur. the latter seems to be most used -- (edited) - b. Feb 3, 15:06
- I love how imgur was created to make sharing pics on Reddit easier. -- nm - Shaun Feb 3, 15:05 1
  - It's also great for taking screenshots on the extremely unscreenshot friendly 3DS and Wii U. -- nm - Qale Feb 3, 15:20
Word. It's really a shame what they've done to it. -- nm - spamlet Feb 3, 15:00 7
- there was a need for it 10 years ago before smartphones. now you just share pictures on FB or instagram -- nm - mr. plow Feb 3, 15:01 6
  - I want a good online site for showing as well as storing my photos. Flickr has a large amount of storage and sharing used to be decent. -- nm - Krusty - Most Right Poster Feb 3, 15:27
  - Both of which are deficient. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 3, 15:02 4
    - if i need more robust photo management, i also have Apple Photos on my phone and mac - mr. plow Feb 3, 15:04 3
      - Which is also deficient in a completely different way. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 3, 15:09 2
        
        In fact, if flickr annihilated iPhoto for local photo management, I wouldn't shed a tear. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 3, 15:11 1
        
        This. So very this. -- nm - iSpam Feb 3, 15:56
It's not a very complex product. There's probably some open source PHP scripts out there that do a lot of the same. - Mop Feb 3, 14:55 1
- Hell, I'm already writing a book about how to make one. But flickr is an established product with a proven metaphor behind it, and a decent userbase. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 3, 14:57
