The other downside that this brings is that the Flickr UI seems to morph quite a bit. At one point, a search field was on their home page - and later I had to go digging for it. Granted, a UI needs to evolve - but it can be done in a manner that's much smoother than how Flickr has been doing it. IMHO, the best adjective for their UI is "scattershot"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21367055.post-1144044900171352982006-04-03T02:15:00.000-04:002006-04-03T02:15:00.000-04:00Thanks for the coverage...I didn't even know O'Rei...Thanks for the coverage...I didn't even know O'Reilly was going to be there...then again I don't get to sit in on any of them so maybe I'll check out the webcast now that you said something.<BR/><BR/>Nice statement also about the future and it being distributed...<BR/><BR/>Flickr isn't that feature rich you have to admit...however the two things it lets you do that we don't yet...link to your pictures and post a "widget" to your site letting you show off your pictures. Once AOL/AIM Pictures lets you do that...I think we'll be back on track with that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21367055.post-1144021442865967252006-04-02T19:44:00.000-04:002006-04-02T19:44:00.000-04:00I don't know - Flickr's great, its not THAT featur...I don't know - Flickr's great, its not THAT feature-rich; hard to imagine the signal-to-noise ratio was that good.<BR/><BR/>For the most part, I think Internet time continues to be a big myth. There are LOTS of COMPANIES and PRODUCTS, but I don't think the timeline for a specific line of products is specifically faster than a direct competitors.<BR/><BR/>I do, however, think that the opportunity of Web 2.0 specifically means that you can get far more cross-leverage, and that is a real increase in product/feature velocity to end users: quality AND quantity - developers get to focus on what makes their product, not what makes it the same.Sree Kotayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01637645734999157782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21367055.post-1144018220893267672006-04-02T18:50:00.000-04:002006-04-02T18:50:00.000-04:00Good summary of the O'Reilly discussion at the all...Good summary of the O'Reilly discussion at the all-hands! I also loved the Gibson quote and also his phrase <I>"Following the Alpha Geeks"</I> :)<BR/><BR/>And I think he did mean pushing new <I>features</I> every 30 mins with his Flickr reference ("fail fast .. scale fast"). Otherwise, as you said, just running make or ant or whatever every so often could be pointless. <BR/><BR/>BTW, I gave the all-hands a 7.5/10 <A HREF="http://journals.aol.com/armughanjavaid/IDIC" REL="nofollow">here</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
