| Flickr is a nice concept but it doesn't work with Mozilla on Linux. Most of you reasons for site's to support OSX apply equally well to Linux. | ||

Almost, but not quite.

I have gotten several replies from people who use flickr on Linux. Which is great to hear. I've tried it now on a bleeding edge debian based box and a stable mandrake box with the same results.
People seem to have it working with other distributions however.

Got it working.

Flickr staff was very helpful and serious about supporting linux. Removing swf-player (the open source decoder) and reinstalling macromedia (just reinstall the same current version) fixed it. Mozilla seems to take swf-player over macromedia.

Uh? That never occurred to me and I use Flickr almost exclusively on Fedora Core 2 with Epiphany 1.2.7 and Macromedia Flash 7.0.25.
As an aside, I think also Zoto and PictureM deserve a mention both as photo service and as great web applications. They manage to do amazing things without help from Macromedia, everything is HTML and Javascript there. Zoto for example has drag and drop support with transparent thumbnails of the picutres and a superimposed badge with the number of pictures you're dragging. PictureM has nice slideshow features. Check them out, seriously cool stuff.
