Last night I attended the Flickr Turns 4 party. The cupcakes were hands-down the best thing about it, but they were just one indicator of how well the party was planned. Some of my friends suggested that perhaps the space could have been bigger, but the closeness of the quarters made introductions between strangers more likely, as nametags could be read with ease, and one friend met his favorite group moderator that way. The 1000’s of posted pictures gave everyone a focus, as did the several hairy Brides of March, who seemed to deeply enjoy the furtive and not-so-furtive looks they received. Frank Chu, with his incomprehensible sign, was in attendance. The atmosphere was friendly, because everyone already had something in common — they love Flickr. What’s not to love?
