No, it doesn't. Thought so. But then I read in the disclaimer: 'this version 1.0 may report sites as being ‘blocked’, while there are only technical reasons for their unavailability'. Now I am really worried. Sure I can live with rejection cause my of my twisted personality babble, but of technical reasons? Ough, that hurts.

One of the perks of my lazy nature is that second thoughts don't ask for some boring (and sometimes embarrassing) turn arounds when i actually sort of do change my mind. Take for example this. For a while I was thinking to post some of my pictures on Flickr but then this topic to my attention that makes me rather think twice. Not going into the story itself (you can read it much better here) I just wanna say 'censorship' makes me always feel a bit quirky.

To see what the fuzz is all about here the censored page (from the yahoo web cache) and then start thinking why would Flickr react by this, and ok ok, censorship may be a too bold statement, but it's def a blunt act of self-interest. Very Yahoo like (the owner of Flickr nowadays) in fact too think of it.

Anyway, whatever happened, lets not forget Rebekka Guðleifsdóttir makes some really excellent pictures.

*Edit. Flickr have acknowledged that it made a 'mistake', and have restored Rebekka's blog. There is a nice discussion going on about what happened on the Flickr forum
