Introduction
Some time ago I tried out Flickr, ultimately deciding to host my own pictures on-site. I don’t the idea of someone having MY picture resource at THEIR beck and call…
Freeman Dyson and Martin Rees
Whatever. FlickrHQ sent me an email today (from “The Flickreenos” by gad!) introducing me to something they call,
People in Photos.
As they say,
People in Photos is a new feature that shows who is in a photo, helps you find photos of other members, and lets you manage which photos you’re in. How exciting!
How exciting indeed. A bit like photo tagging in Facebook…..
Surely Shome Misstake?
Me!
Anyway, check out the photo (above), and you’ll see that the ‘Martin Rees’ referred to in the photo is sat next to one of my heroes, Freeman Dyson, and is none other than the former Cambridge Physics professor and now Astronomer Royal, Martin Rees.
Not me.
Conclusion
So you see, my lack of faith in Flickr is totally justified!
