I don't think so, flickr or myspace are information thingys socially oriented with poor tools to search outside the pack members. Despite its popularity and how cool it looks, predictably only people that know your nick, or people looking for a specific tag ( let's suppose that they're right tagged ) will find it after a while. Kinda living dead if you're thinking on that service as an archive. > At the very least, more people will view and enjoy them. Probably in the short term this goal might be achieved, but mind that they aren't charity foundations, they are private business. Call me paranoic but I wouldn't give my family shoebox (or anything else) to someone who makes a living of it only for the sake of a small convenience, even less if I have to pay for it when I already have another ways to do the same, like email (a whole lot less cool and geek, indeed). /me the asocial git. :) Saludos ----------------------------------------- http://imaginarymagnitude.net/blog/
