bretolius I'm a fan of the name chiclets for social buttons... it will make a perfect cousin to the term spam. Im going to start referring to them as such

tantek ooh I just recently refound classic indiewebesque Zeldman post on Flickr: http://www.zeldman.com/2006/06/27/flickd-away/
#
tantek indiewebcampers - I'm likely going to give a 5 minute talk on open formats and data longevity tomorrow at a Sensored meetup in SF
#
tantek I'm thinking of giving an overview from this blog post almost 7 years ago:

#

bretolius Flickr still has an extremely steep price, especially in 2013... i think it scares a lot of people over to facebook
#
tantek cheaper than a cell phone subscription
#
tantek I don't think the price scares people to FB, I think FB draws people in via convenience, easy UI, speed, everpresence on apps/sites etc.
#
bretolius It seems to me that if they could at least match facebooks unlimited, non-fullsize images that more people would rely on it as a social tool. the 200 photo limit makes it more of a try before you buy. Thats just my impression though, I dont really know
#
bretolius I personally don't mind the price, but I rarely meet people my age with a pro account
#
tommorris my problem with Flickr Pro is I pay for it and then end up not using it
#
tommorris I tend to now use Wikimedia Commons for my CC pics, partly because I trust Wikimedia to make decisions based on the best interests of the web more than I do Yahoo (cf. GeoCities)
#
bretolius yeah, i try not to think about flickrs parent company
#
bretolius :/
