My work here is done.

George on the emergent cultural phenomena of awards/achievements/bravos/celebrations in the Flickr community. Someone should write a PhD.

The Yahoo OP is officially live today! Congrats to Shreyas and Allen for shepherding this for many months!

If you’re a Flickr user you can your photos URL (http://flickr.com/photos/yourname), or if you’re signing into a RP that supports XRDS, just use flickr.com.

You’ll also want to visit openid.yahoo.com, and click on “Get Started” and customize your OpenID identifier.

Personally I just use laughingmeme.org as my OpenID. I had to futz around a bit to figure out OpenID 2.0’s slightly different syntax, but if you view source on this blog you’ll now see in the header:

<link rel="openid2.provider" href="https://open.login.yahooapis.com/openid/op/auth">
<link rel="openid2.local_id" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kellan">

Geocoding is hard work, figuring out where exactly on this wobbly sphere a given humanly vague string might be referring to is just crazy.

Turns out there are a bunch of interesting things you can do without knowing a lot of detailed latitude, longitude stuff but instead just having an agreement that when I say “San Francisco”, and you say “San Francisco”, we’re talking about the one in California, and not somewhere else.

On Flickr we call these things “places”. (creative?) And as I mentioned on the Flickr API mailing list last week and in my early places blog post, places have “place ids”.

This post is just a quick note to the effect that as of this afternoon on top of getting place_ids back with flickr.photos.getInfo, and being able to round trip a place_id with the flickr.places.resolvePlaceURL and flickr.places.resolvePlaceID you can now do a free form search for places with the new flickr.places.find.

John just spotted one of my favorite features I’ve added to Flickr.

Here is another tip, the “Send to a Friend” links at the bottom of every page will generate a Guest Pass behind the scene if needed.

And if you’re interested in this kind of thing, Flickr’s Guest Pass is the seed of my expanded “Casual Privacy” talk at Web 2.0 Expo SF this April.

Every now and then this bites us over here at Flickr as well.

To come play with us in our SF office. And we need someone to come do vocals for Rock Band as well. But seriously, ignore the crap business language from the listing, its amazing, hard, rewarding place to work, with a ridiculous dedicated focus on results.
