Anyone remember the beginning of Flickr? It was really the best thing ever. Really! Glad to see this happen, big time.

Flickr was, I think, one of those "Web 2.0" thing. I got in a few months after it started. I remember a good friend who became sorta millionaire building tools for Flickr (I think he retired in the Himalayas or near it with his family).

#37Flickr, in my opinion has a wide enough base of people, generally interested in photography, to mirror some of the positive effects of sharing to Instagram.
It was no doubt better in the past. But there is still a lot of people on the platform and an okay amount of interaction.
In my opinion there is still a potential for rewamping the platform and make it even better.

#38Happy to see Flickr continue to find ways to live on.
