Ah yes, Emily and her ever on-going campaign against "Glimpse of the World". Boy you must have really lost out a lot of contracts to Mr. French to be this bitter. http://flickr.com/photos/aglimpseoftheworld/ oops, I linked to him, now Emily's going to lose more business!

I feel bad that flickr got blocked. It means there's more and more websites that disabled here in the middle kingdom. But to think again flickr been hurting the proffesional journalist photography as a business for some time. I mean come on, if you want to have a picture in your story, stop being so ass cheap and only tagging picture from flickr, for free! as a hobbyist, of course random people wouldn't mind it, they feel happy when you give them credit title of the picture you use. But have you ever think about the proffesional who do journalism photography for a living?

I prefer Yupoo, but it bugs me that none of the Chinese Flickr clones/alternatives have a subscription option with unlimited uploads.
