Flickr has 17 million photos uploaded - "millions and millions served"
The 17,000,000th photograph is from Bulgaria and the whole photo set is very nice, actually. It looks like some guy visited the country and went to the capital, the mountains with the local monasteries, then he traveled to the seaside and some of the major cities where there are remnants of the ancient Roman civilization. Check it out.
Yahoo did the right thing by buying Flickr, it is a very cool application. I just wish Google had bought them and made some integration with Blogger/Picasa/Hello...
Let's Go to Italy via the NYT Travel Section
NY Times has a nice story about travel in rural Italy - Is Le Marche the Next Tuscany?. If you see the slide show, it looks like few things have changed there over the last century - same old roman columns at the city market, same old narrow steep cobblestone streets... In the European countries the central square is where people gather to meet and communicate. Here, in the US, the cities architecture is very different.
