Flickr always seemed like a cool idea - store your pictures, share them with your friends, slick interface, etc. Especially for those of use without a wiki. So on Luke’s recommendation, I joined.

Not 10 minutes after I had started uploading some pictures, I got notification that two of my pictures had been tagged as someone’s ‘favorites’. That sounded pretty awesome - except none of my friends even knew I had a flickr account. Turns out that both of the pictures happened to contain my bare feet.. yes, I had been found by a foot fetishist.

It was a girl (supposedly) who had page upon page of male foot pictures. I don’t really know how to feel about it. On the one hand, no big deal; they’re just feet, and I am proud to be able to open a beer bottle with them. But on the other hand, it’s creepy. Someone out there could be scrutinizing any of our pictures for whatever they happen to *really* enjoy.

Aside from that, flickr has turned out to be pretty neat. I’ve learned to be more careful about what I put up for the public to see. After a few days of being posted, my most popular picture (by # of views) was, predictably, of girls kissing. Don’t bother looking, perverts, I’ve already deleted it.
