#3Slightly OT, but I overheard a few developers discussing online photo services and one of them, a 20yr-old, asked "what's Flicker?"
I knew Flickr had lost a lot of mindshare, but I didn't realize the situation was that bad.

That's what they tweeted at me.
So, good news: the CC-licensed photos are still there.
Not so good news: the bug was there for 5 days w/o being noticed or fixed.
