Flickr expands search robustness

Flickr rolled out a slight interface re-design this week. Behind the scenes, from what I have read, it is using Ajax instead of flash so everything moves quicker and more fluid.

The searching features have been expanded. I searched "Kerr" in the "full text" field and this picture I took was 14th most interesting.

That is funny because I work on the street now and probably don't notice things that once popped out at me. Yesterday's photogenic billows of steam are today's mal-odorous geyers that assail my senses.

Alas, this photo was staged - I had my wife grab the umbrella and walk through the steam to heighten the effect. Well, at least she was really there and I did not Photoshop her in.
