No seen this before.

I’m not one to resist a meme, not when it’s as good a statement of intent of use of Flickr’s new video sharing as Fridgets, people showing you what’s in their fridges.

So that’s where Flickr Fight comes in. It’s a little toy I made to bring the power of Flickr into everyday decision-making - just type in two words and see which one wins. Here’s a few of my favourite so far:

Daddy Vs Chips

Cats Vs Dogs

Rock Vs Disco

I know they only seem to sell kit to professional footballers (a guy that worked there once told me that that month they’d only sold one system to Lee Hendrie) - but a big advert featuring Ken Bates?

Where as I say “gowan then” to people who ask to use my Flickr pics, there’s a certain type of people that seemingly don’t want you to even see theirs. D_morton (who probably doesn’t want the link ; ) ) always puts “You may not use, copy or print my photographic image files without my permission.” in the description of the hundreds of photos he uploads - usually candid shots of people in Brum and Walsall.

While anyone is entitled to do that - and there are licensing settings and other tools to prevent that on Flickr (although the only safe way would be not to put them on the ‘net) - it seems overkill and for some reason it annoys me when I see the photos in one of my RSS photo feeds. Rant over, I wonder if it’s possible to do exclusions by username for Flickr RSS - yahoo pipes perhaps?

EDIT: Yes it is, annnnd relax.

Oh noes!

People can hate as much as they like, I still think that this is an interesting juxtaposition between technology, history and frivolity.
