« What is a Photograph?....Flickr better figure it out. | Main | Changes at Eyespot »

Flickr commented on my blog!!!

Yes flickr, not a human being from flickr, apparently it was the website itself. This is slightly exciting even though the comment from 'flickr' is slightly wrong.

Apparently, 'flickr' read my blog post about the various changes at radar and found some 'discrepencies' in my assesment of flickr's functionality.

I wrote: The people at radar have been doing some work. I logged on and was directed to a new screen. Instead of the usual picture stream, with the most recent uploads listed first, I was directed to a page with new options including 'latest comments on my pictures', 'on my firend's pictures (hmm flickr doesn't do this) and 'on pictures I've commented on' (flickr doesn't do this either).

And flickr commented:

There are prominent links to this in several places on the site (the functionality has been there almost since the dawn of Flickr):

Perhaps I was not clear, but I was referring to the fact that radar includes the ability to view the latest comments on your friends pictures and on pictures that you've commented on. EVERYONE knows that flickr lets you view the latest comments on your own pictures and view all of your own comments, but they don't provide a way to view the LATEST comments on your friends pictures or the LATEST comments on pictures you've commented on from the main screen. Yes, when you click the 'your comments' link you can see if there have been new comments on pictures you've commented on, but there is no indication that this is even an available option from the main screen, which I simply think is slightly bad ui design. However, maybe I wasn't as clear as I should've been (and maybe flickr is very sensitive and gets its feelings hurt easily....) but don't worry I still luv ya.
