Down for the count

Follow up on the new flickr:

 

Well it took me twice as long to post with the new flickr. Some of that will be over come with familiarity with the new design; however, I think I will have to change the way I post to get the rest of the time back. That may mean going to a favor only model which is what I believe the new flickr is best design for.

 

My numbers are down about 40% since the new flickr. However, I read that flickr is reporting a increase in traffic since the redesign. How are your numbers? Given the number of contacts that have left flickr since the resign to go to ipernity - the users who real like the redesign must be head over heels in love with it.

 

Outside the free terabyte of high res photo space I can't say there is much about the redesign I like on a desktop computer. It seems to be a design aimed at the mobile user, but flickr already had a app that did that quite well which I use on my iPad all the time.

 

I could give a detail account about the problems I see with the new flickr; but given that it appears that Yahoo is commit to this redesign - they have made and aired a TV commercial extorting the virtues of the new Flickr - it's love it or leave it. And I do not have the energy to start over somewhere else.

 

Yours

 

Tim

 

P.S. Can someone tell me how to find out what a picture posted date is if someone has not made it available in there Exif data?
