What a dumb question. ... How about "what is Snapfish"?,  or "what is "Picasa"?<br><br>Just because some people aren't familiar with one of dozens of photo sharing sites means nothing. Within a few months, Flickr will be surpassed by another site, and then another. Different photo sharing sites are popular with some groups online, and some with others. I've got literally tens of thousands of photos online, using a photo site you've probably never heard of, yet thousands of pro shooters use it every day. So what? <br><br>And if the editors at "Switched" don't understand this, THEY are the naive' ones here.<br><br> ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Foxsnooze]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 9th 2009 8:54AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on 'What Is Flickr?'

I, for one, have no idea what the term means.  I'm guessing it has to do with something on the internet, since I usually only use my computer for email and to read the news I wouldn't have a clue as to any programs or there names.  I'm also one of the very few people in the world who does not have a My Face Page, nor do I Twitter (whatever that is).  I don't even IM.  I even send letters through the US Postal Service (that's right.  I actually hand write letters... imagine that!).  Yes, I am what you might call a dinosaur of the communication world.  Yes, laugh at me if you must, but we are a dying breed and one day we will be extinct and a generation will be born that will not know what it's like to send a letter through the mail (snail mail), just like there is a generation now that has never seen a dial telephone nor do they have any idea how to one. It's very sad if you think about it.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Laura Lynn]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 9th 2009 10:06AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on 'What Is Flickr?'

Because the state of the art hadn't reached 20 frames per second yet (the minimum needed to overcome flashes of light between each frame), people would see those flashes of blank light within the movie.  Hence,  the 'ancient' remarks by movie goers saying things like. "We just came back from the Flicks" or "Did you see the latest Flicker that Charlie Chaplin just made?"<br>( BTW, I do know the present use of Flickr.  I just thought it'd be fun to mix a little video history in  the blog.  ;-> ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Estella Carol Wyatt]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 9th 2009 12:59PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on 'What Is Flickr?'
