I am with you all the way, Jake. I think Flickr is an incredible deal, and one
that will probably be around for a long time thanks to it being integrated with
Yahoo and with the revenue streams from printing, etc.
For $25 a year I can archive my pictures, and yet allow download of them at
reduced resolution to the public. I have not explored all its features, but it
took me only 60 seconds to send them my money after I read about it. I think I
have a couple of gig of archived stuff up there now and feel pretty good about
it being there when I need it. I thought it to be one of the coolest sites I had
ever come across and incredibly easy to use and easy to organize pictures. In
fact, I think that Flickr would make a great LEGO community site as you can set
up groups, tag pictures, comment on pics,etc. etc. They do have a maximum
picture size of 10 meg per picture and some of mine sometimes run way over that,
but those are archived on DVD's and I then simply reduce them to 9.9 meg.
I have no idea what is in store with LEGO Universe, but the ability to upload
custom MOC's would be a nice feature for cultivating the community. It would of
course have to be moderated. But could be integrated into the Factory concept.
Link from LEGO Universe to the factory so that could actually be within LU and
post to the factory. I can really imagine LU as being an incredible fun place
and also a place to move a lot of product. One could go into a "class room" and
learn to use LDD or how to make a NXT sensor do something, etc. Got off topic a
bit--but to reiterate, I have found Flickr one of the best deals I have ever had
on the Internet.
