Brand New Photo System
Monday, February 13th, 2006The transition to flickr is now complete and the gallery has been moved over to their servers. This means several things.
- My bandwidth isn’t being eaten up by photos
- everything is much faster
- everything will get updated a lot more frequently because flicker is easier to use than the system I had built for myself
- Categories can get much more fluid and I will soon have some other cool stuff
You can also check out my photos directly at http://www.flickr.com/photos/jonjohnson
This transition was made possible mainly because of the fantastic php library at http://www.phpflickr.com/Â so many thanks go out there.
This is defiantly a step towards the future of web 2.0 as multiple services can be combined to create fluid dynamic user experiences…. enjoy.
