My first startup was in the early 2000s [1]. It was a photo sharing service and we hadn't even heard of Flickr though they were growing pretty quickly. They introduced some really cool features like tagging subjects in photos. Plus they had a really sweet animation of their logo while photos were loading over super slow connections.

Happy to see Flickr continue to find ways to live on.

Fun fact: Flickr started as a never ending web-based game where photos became a highly used feature. Similar to how Instagram came to be.
