FlickrFan, day 2
Friday, December 28, 2007 by Dave Winer.
Good morning, lots of discussion on many weblogs about the new product, FlickrFan, announced here last night. 
I'm going to write about it here, a lot, over the coming weeks and months, but first I wanted to link to some of the comments about it.
Michael Markman: How to Use FlickrFan with AppleTV.
Don Park: Dave's New Thingy.
Rex Hammock: Dave's cool new thing.
Phil Jones: Platform Wars.
Michael Gartenberg: FlickrFan first thoughts.
Scoble (yesterday): The MacMini HDTV revolution.
Fred Wilson and Bijan Sabet have been using the software for the last month or so in a variety of forms.
Loren Feldman marks the moment in history. 
Om Malik came for a visit last month, we took a walk in the hills, and of course I talked about FlickrFan and did a demo.
There were other articles and reviews, you can find them on TechMeme or Technorati. One thing I've learned is that takes a bit of time to find the right mix of personal pics from Flickr and news pics from AP. It's an unusual app because whole families can use it, and they have different preferences and expectations. The tech blogosphere tends to rush to decide about things. I find they sometimes miss the mark, widely and I was sure this would be one of those times, which is why I didn't roll it out the usual way.
I wanted to get a base of users going, and learn and evolve the software, so far it looks pretty good, so the next step is to evaluate, listen, fix the most serious bugs I can find, think, and then move forward.
Watch this space (below) for new features and fixes...
