Boy, stick a few million bucks in the Flickr kid's pockets and, how quickly they forget.
Consider this excerpt from a recent update email:
The Flickr team has up and moved this week to Californ-i-a and has been singing Beach Boys songs non-stop since arrival. And you're moving too!
We're moving each and every pixel, bit, and byte, all your data, lock, stock, and barrel, from our humble server shack in Canada to our new server palace in the U.S. of A!
I know what you're thinking. You're saying to youself, HA! See, all that whining about how tough it is being an American and at the first chunk of mondo-bux, they head south. Yeah, yeah..
But, please, California?
As compared to British Columbia? Smog, Traffic, Taxes, and Arhnold vs. Whistler, The Inside Passage, and Starbucks? Okay, Starbucks is Seattle but its all the same north of Oregon.
Good luck to the Flickr team, do come visit from time to time, we'll leave a light on. :-)
Awesome to see some CDNians make a little $$$ :)Sad to see them head south :(
