Flickr Gets Raves from Chicago Sun-Times

Andy Ihnatko of the Chicago Sun-Times has written a great article about Flickr, Flickr has it all and more, in which he notes that "The Flickr folk succeed, essentially, by stealing damn near every single great idea that's floating around on the Internet."

There are already way too many Web sites out there where you can upload and display your digital photos, and on the whole, watching these services develop is like watching cavemen trying to figure out fire.

We couldn't agree more.

But the folks who've created www.Flickr.com get it. They get it, and then they went and beat up some kid on the playground and they took his stuff, too.

The goal of Flickr is obviously to turn your online photo library into a resource, not a limited set of features. And boy, are they good at it. No other photo-hosting site offers you so many ways of tossing pictures into your online library, or letting other folks take a look at 'em.

The link to the article above will be expiring soon, but you can track this and other Flickr kudos on the Press, Mentions and Accolades page.
