Like every other geek these days, I just love flickr.

And like the old para­ble about the fax machine, the more peo­ple you know who use it, the cooler it becomes.

Pre WE05, I had a hand­ful of pho­tos online and two or three con­tacts — I cre­ated an account to try it out, thought it was pretty cool, and didn’t get much fur­ther than that.

Post Web Essen­tials, I have a pro account, 14 con­tacts — not many I know, but I go for qual­ity not quan­tity! — and 40 pho­tos online — again, not many but that’s a lot for me in such a short time. Plus, based on the suc­cess of the WebEssen­tials “offi­cial” account, we’ve signed up Port80 for its own pro account and uploaded all the pho­tos that were taken at the WA Web Awards and also a few from some old Port80 events.

Speak­ing of the offi­cial Web Essen­tials flickr account, how about that Amit? 523 pho­tos uploaded in the last week or so — does he sleep? I keep expect­ing to see them stop, think­ing he’s gotta hit that 2GB limit some­time soon — but they just keep com­ing. They’re awe­some pho­tos too — great job dude :)
