Flickr redesigns website
Photo-sharing leader Flickr has introduced a redesigned site and Android app. Now there’s a big black bar at the top and tiled photos everywhere. Flickr calls this “better, brighter’ although not all the Flickr users were quite so happy.
“Today, we are shifting the photo-sharing landscape again. We’re releasing a Flickr that’s more spectacular, much bigger, and one you can take anywhere.”
— Flickr Blog, May 20, 2013
“Flickr’s one of the elder statesmen of the online photo sharing world, but in recent years its UI has grown a bit long in the tooth when compared to the eye candy provided by other kids on the social sharing block. That’s all changed as of today.”
— Michael Gorman, Engadget, May 20, 2013
“If Classic Flickr was an art gallery, where the focus is on individual works, their creators, and the community around them, New Flickr is a wall-to-wall comic strip, but without context or even a punch line.”
— Michael Stutz, Huffpost, June 7, 2013
