On side note, she uses Instagram instead of Flickr. Looks like Flickr needs to step up. Would be fun to see if she says to Flickr team, "I won't use your app unless you improve it"
- spullara 14y agoSince the Flickr team didn't write it, I'm sure they would be glad to hear it.
- dm8 14y agoReally? Flickr didn't believe in native apps? Or they didn't have enough iOS devs? EDIT: Changed Yahoo to Flickr.
- spullara 14y agoNative apps were owned by the mobile group, not the individual teams. And they didn't get have the people to do it. I'm sure Marissa will rectify it.
- dm8 14y agoWow! This is news to me. Even mobile group didn't have people to do it. When every goddamn investor was pumping money into photo sharing apps. Flickr had the most popular photo-sharing app till 2008 and they missed the mobile tidal wave!
- spullara 14y agoThey may have missed the tidal wave, but I was posting mobile photos on Flickr in 2005 :( http://www.flickr.com/photos/spullara/2904629/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/spullara/2904629/in/photostream...

- eric_bullington 14y agoThey could start by releasing a proper RESTful API: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2206188/why-isnt-the-flickr-api-restful http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2206188/why-isnt-the-flic... Also, using valid JSON for in their API would be a nice touch: http://www.flickr.com/groups/api/discuss/72157622950514923/ http://www.flickr.com/groups/api/discuss/72157622950514923/ *Note that both of these posts are over two years old, and yet these problems persist even now.
