Hooray! My Flickr’s 1st Birthday

Hooray! About one year ago after finishing up my first year @UH, I noticed that Facebook was opening their developer platform. Within the first day, I quickly saw that there was not a Flickr application yet. Hoping to save myself and others from the monotonous and drone task of manually finding and linking photos and URLs to Facebook, I decided to develop My Flickr. I knew my PHP/MySQL well and had dabbled in some Flickr API before and started off into the sun (kind of like a cowboy).

It has been the best year ever! I was amazed whenever 500 people who I didn’t even know started using it and then it just kept growing. Wonderful, kind users donated money to help pay for My Flickr’s hosting and bandwidth consumption. Today, My Flickr has over +105,000 users and has just located itself on an ultra-speedy server.

I love developing and using this app and yall are the best users ever! Thanks.
