Well, this would sure explain all the clicking that you have to do at Flickr now.

This was posted by the same person that prompted "Flickr Black Day" and "I love Flickr Day."

Thank you for sharing this link, Karen. I still have an account with Flickr and always suspected that the sudden increase in hits could not be accurate. Well, it seems to me that the CEO has shot herself in the foot, based on what I hear of the revenue reports of the last quarter. If you get too greedy, karma comes back to bite you! Maybe the world will right itself after all ;-)

A great many people came here from Flickr because it _was_ like the "old" Flickr. They left in reaction to the New! Awesome! interface Flickr imposed despite literally thousands of customer protests. Now, as ad revenues continue to dwindle, Flickr may be painfully rediscovering an old adage from retail:

Rule 1: The Customer Is Always Right.

Rule 2: If the Customer Is Wrong, See Rule 1.

Ipernity may be discovering the same--you don't grow a business by having people leave.

The whole controversy over comment codes is about as silly as the Little Endians vs. the Big Endians, if you remember your Jonathan Swift. Yeesh. If they bug you that much, delete 'em! Myself, I don't particularly care one way or the other. What _is_ distressing is that active members and groups are leaving because of this teapot-tempest. That definitely makes Ipernity less fun--and it isn't good for Ipernity, either.
