I support Protest Beta Sunday

With the help of my dear friend, thruthelookingglass, I want to add my voice to the others that do not want the new Flickr BETA. It stinks. I have nothing against iphone photography and instagram, but we have Facebook for that. I WANT the comments.... the stories behind the photos.... I WANT to know where you took that picture, how and why. I WANT to hear your humorous stories and I want to learn from you. I will laugh with you and I will cry with you... and you may never even know it... because although your photos are powerful... they are MORE powerful when your WORDS are added!! Hey Flickr... STOP making it so hard to find and make comments! THIS IS NOT WHAT WE WANT! I have already lost contacts that I loved...people that I have learned so much from, are gone now because Flickr's changes drove them away. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IS BEST FOR US. And you won't, if you won't listen. I guess you just don't care. *sigh* So sad to see this happening to Flickr.

 

So, Flickr friends....if BETA drives you away....please leave a forwarding address so I can find you again! If you were worth FOLLOWING (remember when that used to be "...has added you as a contact"?) here....you are worth following out the door to a new home. I hope it won't come to that...but its not looking good. : (
