Flickr denied his request, saying “we choose not to support use of the API for sites that are a straight alternative to Flickr.” Stewart Butterfield, founder of Flickr said “why should we burn bandwidth and CPU cycles sending stuff directly to their servers?”.

It seems that Today, Stewart Butterfield, had a change of heart on the API issue, and posted the following message on the Flickr discussion forums.

Re API keys for direct competitors: this is something that we’ve never had any set policy on and this thread has sparked a lot of internal debate on the team: some people felt that it was unreasonable, some people felt like it didn’t matter since Flickr should win on the basis of being the best thing out there.

I actually had a change of heart and was convinced by Eric’s position that we definitely should approve requests from direct competitors as long as they do the same. That means (a) that they need to have a full and complete API and (b) be willing to give us access.

The reasoning here is partly just that “fair’s fair’ and more subtly, like a GPL license, it enforces user freedom down the chain. I think we’ll take this approach (still discussing it internally).

It great to see that Flickr is reconsidering the previous decision.

Updating his blog every hour or so, since early this morning, he is tracking his progress and explaining exactly what he is doing and working on.

Kastner’s project, MyOneGoal.com, will be a place for anyone to work on any one goal at a time.

For example, looking at 43 things, there are over 10,000 people who have listed the goal Lose Weight. That’s not specific or tme-based. “Lose 10lbs in 4 weeks� is all of those things.

Once you’ve set your One Goal, you’ll be able to come on each day and update your progress. Good, bad or the same, it’s the act of keeping the goal in the front of your mind that makes it happen.

Definitely check out his blog to track his progress.

So, in this little tutorial, we will write an app which allows you to

1. submit links
2. view links sorted by points voted or by date/time of submission (”hot” and “new”)
3. vote links up or down (with AJAX, to avoid reloading the whole page)

We don’t add advanced features like user accounts, or checking that users should not vote on a link more than once, because that would be out of the limits of this little tutorial.

Definitely worth checking out. (Thanks Erik)
