Watching the birth of Flickr co-founder's gaming start-up

• dazzawazza 17y ago
  From memory flickr was born from a project to create a photo sharing site for photos of the game the founder were developing. So this isn't surprising. I think I got that from Founders at Work.

    Yes, the people at Ludicorp (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludicorp http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludicorp) were making Game Neverending (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Neverending http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Neverending). And as pointed out in the Wikipedia article on GNE: "Occasional signs of this legacy are visible, such as the '.gne' file extension appearing in Flickr's URLs."

  Very impressed by CNET spending the resources to embed a reporter like this. Here's a great gallery of in-progress art, prototypes, etc: http://news.cnet.com/2300-10797_3-10002397-1.html?tag=mncol http://news.cnet.com/2300-10797_3-10002397-1.html?tag=mncol

  that's a puffy piece, as it's called in journalistic circles.

    Technically, I think that's "puff piece," but I concur.
