10 Interesting Things I Learned About Ansel Adams

This was one of the days I'll never forget in my life. Really special and glad to see this writeup by Thomas. - Robert Scoble

Nice story, thanks for sharing. A very good friend of mine studied under Ansel Adams, and he still speaks of what a wonderful experience it was. - Jody Carbone

wow, great story. - Chris Jones via twhirl

This is a great post. I really like point number 3 about how Ansel Adams would go out of his way to provide some positive encouragement about someone's photograph. In this day of digital pixel peepers and snarkey forums we could all learn something from one of the great masters. - Chris Patterson

Great write-up, thanks! - Derek Dysart via twhirl

I shared this link with my uncle, a fan of Ansel Adams (and a great photographer himself). He sent me a link from the website of Clyde Butcher, "the Ansel Adams of Florida" that I thought I would pass on - incredible stuff. http://tinyurl.com/6ydpyq - Jody Carbone

“FriendFeed's Flickr integration is good but still needs lots of work. My contact Mike Hedge is showing that he uploaded 100 photos, but I only see about 25. Last night i favorited about 70 photos in one stint and it never showed up. Still too many Flickr "photo not available" thumbnails as well.”

There could be more options... such as optionally tracking comments on photos... - TranceMist

I hear you. Especially my "imaginary" friends aren't showing up. - Alex von Halem

Pretty sure that's a Flickr issue. They only put the most recent 20 pictures in the feed. - Dave Winer

Dave, but I've seen some with more than 20 and still it should reflect the last 20 faved. Last night when I faved 70 or so it didn't show any of them. - Thomas Hawk

Thomas: did you see this post: http://friendfeed.com/e/d76d52... the author says that last.fm is driving a lot more traffic to his photos than anything else. - Robert Scoble

Robert: I did. That's some sort of anomaly. Right now FF produces very little traffic to photos though. My traffic on Flickr (about 10-15k a day) 62% from Flickr, 22% direct traffic, 3% from Google, 2% from my blog, 1% from image search at Google, 1% from image search at Yahoo, everything else less than 1%. FF less than 1%. - Thomas Hawk

I'm seeing those Flickr "photo not available" thumbnails via the direct RSS feed as well, not a FF-specific issue. - Aaron B. Hockley

Thomas, I've had problems across the board with Friendfeed and integration with Amazon, Flickr, Vimeo, and others. Very unreliable. RSS works and so does Twiiter however. - Dion Hinchcliffe via twhirl

@Scoble and Thomas to clarify, those figures weren't my top referrers, just the 4 I cared about for the purposes of that comparison. Last.fm is actually about 5th on my list. - James Spinks

I have favourited a couple recently and not seen it recognised here either! - Joe Dawson

My one problem is that it always shows my Amazon.com column as posted eight hours before it actually was. Figured it just makes me look proactive. - Ryan Brenizer

If we could get a meeting with the Flickr people who work on their feeds we could work this out in short order. When they designed their RSS interface no one knew how it would be used. Now we have a much better idea. We need this for Switchabit too. There's a better policy that would work better for everyone, and not hurt Flickr. - Dave Winer

I don't mind FF having lots of hiccups with Flickr right now. The potential is there and I'm sure in time that they will get it right. Number one new integration I'd like to see would be the ability to follow group conversations at flickr by person. Right now there is no way to follow someone's group posts in Flickr. It would rock if you could do this on FF. - Thomas Hawk
