Flickr is one of the reasons I think that the internet is getting past it’s awkward teenage years. From the internet’s infancy when all pages read, ‘Welcome to My Home Page’ with a repeating graphic of cat paws, or ‘The significance of crystaline deposits in Northumbria’, the internet has come a long way. Now a days, you can’t gesturally browse your mouse without bumping into some NSFW* material. But things are really starting to shape up here as the back end technology is starting to talk to each other. And as the writing is getting funnier.

30 Boxes, Wordpress, , Google maps (double true!), Bleep, Audioscrobbler, Google Mail, Engadget, Gizmodo, Kotaku, Skype, Lifehacker, ARS Technica, Product Dose, Gapersblock, Craiglist, Anonymous Lawyer, DP Review, Maddox, The Framley Examiner, Myspace, Hub, are just a few of the things that makes the wonder what used to do before I had easy access to the internet?

While I know that it’s not a big deal to anyone else, but today I broke through 10,000 views on my Flickr page and I think that’s great. Thanks to everyone that’s gone to view my photos.

What are the reasons, sites or people that make the internet significant to you?
