Joi, that's a great investment! flickr rocks.

I like the idea of Tags page. It leads to Emergent Markup Languages.

Hmm. The Tags page also reminds me of the Fractal Blogspace.

Awesome. Way to go Joi! And congrats to Stewart, Caterina and the rest of the team!

Where shall I put your Flickr badge/feed? ;)

4- Dianne Maire @ September 27, 2004 8:00 PM

Just had a look at your photos and left a couple of comments. Really nice.

5- jenene @ September 28, 2004 2:52 AM

As an early flickr fan, I can say Stewart is a genius. And a good egg too. Good one, Joi.

Interesting, but it has two fatal flaws for me:
1. Dependence on Flash.
2. RSS photos too small.
3. Not decentralized P2P.

Other than that, I love the RSS feeds, tagging concept, etc.

Flickr is amazing. It has the potential to be a pretty interesting killer app. Good luck on your investment.

Flickr does rock - it has potential to grow into something bigger and more community based too - as most services seem to these days.

Incidentally - what's the JoiIto take on StumbleUpon - I haven't seen very many ppl mention it (must be reading the wrong blogs heh) - but SU is really looking very good - great performance, and endless hours of addictive surf-plesh.

Hey Joi, in case there was any doubt your blog isn't "working": after viewing your recent posts I signed up with Flickr to put some photos from a road trip to New Orleans on there. I've checking out Corenlius's music tonight and in my upcoming trip to Japan I've decided to add a stop over at Kamikochi, since your nice pictures have revealed to me what a nice place it must be. cheers and i'm sure you won't take it too hard when Bush wins ;)

10- Joi Ito @ September 30, 2004 4:22 PM

Thanks for letting me influence you so much Scof. Now vote for Bush and you'll really be cool. ;-)

11- Antonio @ October 3, 2004 9:31 PM

Ito and how do we do the same (investing)? :)

bye

Flickr Hype from Media Guerrilla
September 27, 2004 2:09 AM

There's been a lot of hype recently about Flickr -- the most recent being Esther Dyson's investment in the company. I haven't tried the service, but I've heard good things. The Flickr blog looks like the company's primary marketing tool,

A new conglomerate is in the building at the moment. This is getting serious. Joi just announced his investment into Flickr. I presume Loic will be next. :) Then between them they will have close ties to Six Apart (ok,

Esther Dyson and Joi Ito Investing in Flikr from Get Real
October 1, 2004 8:36 AM

I hadn't seen the post by Esther untill catching up with Joi's blog (see I'm investing in flickr too). Flikr is definitely getting critical mass with what was a sidetrack away from the Game Neverending. Congrats, Stuart!...

Going Pro with Flickr 1.0 (soon) from www.coolmel.com
October 1, 2004 9:14 AM

Flickr is now on its way to 1.0. Kudos to those passionate people. I've been using Flickr since their early days so I think it's only fair for me to upgrade to a paid Pro account. It's a bargain anyway.

Yahoo swallows Flickr from Rodrigo A. Sepúlveda Schulz
March 21, 2005 8:27 AM

While I was busy trying to configure my phone to work with Flickr's email publishing technique to my blog (duh?), Yahoo was busy buying the company. It's pretty official here on the Flickrblog. Too bad Loic didn't invest in it
