I would love to keep up on Apple's event tomorrow via an app, in addition to stories and things.

Remember the part about the Iphone having the real web therefore there should be no need for an app or customized iphone version of a site.

the reason flickr is popular is b/c it's not only for professionals, but also for people who wouild never make a dime off of their photography but are rich in friends and family and wish to share that with them.
if it was just for pros and didn't have people who suck at photography like us alleviating the costs, you'd be paying alot heftier subscription price and may not even get a potential client should one of us "bad photographer" happen to stumble on one of your photos and want to hire you.

I hate people being 'in touch' 24/7. Bring back the 80's *sigh*

Have you checked to see if The Farmer's Almanac has a website? :-)

In fact, I don't think that most people should be allowed to have cameras. Cameras should only be reserved for a select cadre of professional people. I'm sick and tired of seeing people taking pictures of mundane things like pets or family members or tourist attractions. That is not what photography is for.
Also, unless you're a licensed professional writer, you shouldn't be allowed to write. No computer. No typewriter. No pens or pencils. No one cares about the mundane details of some anonymous person's life; why should they be allowed to share it with the world?
Come to think of it, the computers should only be for professional computer programmers. A writer (while possibly professional) isn't a professional computer user. Writers should make do with typewriters and pens.
Calculators should only be owned by professional mathematicians and accountants. Microscopes should only be owned by scientists and professional physicians.
And of course, since bloggers aren't professional journalists, blogs should be outlawed.
The tools of technology are highly sophisticated and should only be used by professionals who have proven that they have the skill, aptitude, and passion to use such tools.

This is simply a matter of using a certain tool in a proper manner. I went with Flickr because I shoot everything in camera RAW. With most photo sharing sites at the time having size limits of 5MB or less, I had to go with Flickr Pro. I have been on Flickr for what, two years now, and it truly was, and kind of is a great site for people who want to take photography seriously as a hobby. I joined a couple local groups, and got invited to outings and shoots. I remember the first time I used a speedlight at night. The other photographers looked at me like I wore a swastika at a holocaust museum. They showed me about shutter speed and exposure. That's what Flickr should be about. Not about some ditzy Tila Tequila wannabe uploading her 300 pictures of her getting wasted at her boyfriend's kegger. There are sites for that, like Myspace, Facebook, hell, use Snapfish. just don't use Flickr.
Then again, I know people with TI-89's who have no idea what a 2 sample T-test is, or how to initiate it on their calculator.

I mean, i know i can just go and browse ONLY the pictures I want to see, but when you got soccer moms uploading pictures i just get so furious about it i have to view every single one of them to fuel my elitist rage which keeps my frapping arm strong when looking at High Class sepia toned picture of a coca cola spilt on the ground.
THE NERVE!! FlickR(c) is for serious photographers taking pictures of serious things, like leaves and junk and stalin and stuff broseph.

The ability to take a picture wherever, whenever is of immense value. How many newsworthy events were captured the instant they happened because someone had a cameraphone. Saddam Hussein's execution was filmed with a cameraphone. How many moments like a baby's first step or a last photo of a loved one were captured with a crappy cameraphone? Spare me the argument about how a photo's value is tied to the quality of the camera.
And you didn't HAVE to go with Flickr Pro. You chose to. Have you considered hosting your photos on your own website? Or using an external drive to store your photos locally?
Finally, why is it any of your business how other people choose to use services that they pay for? I use Flickr to store little photos that catch my eye when I'm out and about and to upload photos I take with my cameras. None of these are for commercial use. But that's not your business! Who the hell are you to pass judgment on others?
If an 8 year-old wants to take 1,000 pictures of her puppy and then upload them to the internet, it's not for you to say that what she's doing has worth.
Flickr is about storing photos - any photos. It doesn't matter if they're commercial or amateur or well-composed or taken with a 5 year-old webcam.

I really wanted to take your rabble rabble rabble insulting rant seriously. However, I can't. But know, you have my pity.

While it's not as stripped-down simple or fast as FlickIt, I think it's not too bad. Plus, can't beat "Free" pricewise.

Good to see Flickr is keeping the iPhone experience consistent. Therefore, app approved.

I didn't spend a whole semester in my high school learning about the finer merits of f stops and single lens reflex to have every spoiled teen to block my shots with their grease covered underperformers to decorate their myspace pages.
Damn commoners. It makes me sick.
Then again it makes me even sicker to see a child with an EOS and such. Eugh. So much potential lost.
