Flickr made a number of announcements 2 days ago, and the following deserves a special mention:
In our ongoing efforts to Make Flickr BetterTM, we’re introducing two additional limits: the new maximum number of contacts is 3,000 contacts (good luck with that), and each photo on Flickr can have a maximum of 75 tags.
Limiting the number of users you can network with on a site that urges you to “join some groups and make some friends”? Bold move Flickr.
Needless to say people are not happy about this move. At least not the 300 users who have more than 3,000 friends, and the people that own the 0.00156% of the photos on Flickr that have more than 75 tags.
