I don’t know how long this has been the case – I only discovered it just now by accident – but Flickr now gives you a shorter URL.
In other words this:
now works and takes you to this
which is terrific as the latter always looked a little crap when printed on cards.
(peteashton.flickr.com doesn’t work though.)
This rocks. My already agreeably short flickr URL is now: flickr.com/si
I’ve always thought your Flickr URL screamed “early adopter” in a most uncouth manner, but that’s just me being jealous because /pete had already been taken.
excellent! wonder if they’ll make it permanent instead of just redirect
flickr.com/tya
I wonder if, perhaps, they’re going to introduce some kind of portfolio page which you can decorate with your favourite photos and such. There’s a lot of demand for that sort of thing but it goes completely against the Photostream ethos. This could be a compromise.
