Flickr Woes

[dazedgonebye]

It seems that Adsense has designated flickr as a sex site and all the coporate firewalls that subscribe to adsense are now blocking the picture content from flickr. Flickr is fighting the designation.
So, if you're linking here from your flickr account, many of us folks here on the company dime will not be able to see your images.

Dang. :bang:

Hah! That's hilarious! Next they'll be blocking the Encyclopaedia Britannicccca (hey, I don't want to get sued) for writing smut.

If I were a manager or owner of a company with employees, I would not be wanting them -- except maybe on their own break-time -- doing personal stuff with the computers. But I gather from what I see online that it's not uncommon...

Lucky they don't scan for camera porn or you wouldn't be able to come here either.

FLICKR - dreadful navigation

FLICKR - dreadful navigation

Is it just me or do others find Flickr to have woeful navigation. I can almost never find anything that I am looking for and often if I do find it I quickly lose it again. (I am an experienced user of the Web - not quite ageek but thats not what my wife would say!).

UTube has problems too - the thumbnails of movies showing on a page will often change randomly. I will view a video, noting that there are couple of others on the page that look interesting but if you change pages and come back the listed videos have changed. I have something of this sort of problem wiht Flicker as well. I signed up but have never used it as its just a PIA.

I bookmarked my own file. 'Hope it doesn't change.
