Time to back up those flickr photos.
The link is 1.5 years old, but (IMHO, and anecdotal) Flickr's growth has been steady since about then.

I bet. I looked at signing up, but the password field is plain text. What's up w/ that?
It's pale plain text at password creation time, and regular password dots when you login. Saves having to have a 'confirm password' box.

I switched to Pinboard ( http://pinboard.in ) in April and I highly recommend it. It's not free, but it's well worth looking at. (The pricing is a one-time fee that climbs as the site grows. It's currently $6.89. There's also a service to archive your bookmarks, but I haven't tried that. That's $25 a year currently.) Here's their (probably about to be updated) "Should you switch from Delicious?" page: http://pinboard…

Since the "it's not free but..." angle has already been played I'll add to kqr2's question...

The most fundamental kernel of usability is "does what I expect", and everybody expects password masking everywhere. Everybody expects to type their password twice to register and once to login (the only fundamental distinction!). Everybody is extraordinarily habituated to typing their passwords blind, it's of absolutely no use to display them.
Really, the minimum result you get is that people take longer to sign up because they pause to be infuriated at your design decision.
Don't try to redefine a fundamental UI component that has a universally consistent implementation and is totally orthogonal to the innovative bits of your app. Seriously, stop being an asshole and always use for user-chosen secrets.
Anyone want to do a weekend hackathon with me and build a replacement? We could probably capitalize on delocios shutting down to get some traction.
