Yes, it was, but I really got paid a lot of money for it, so it all
evened out in the end... ;) I hadn't considered craigslist as a 2.0
site either, but I guess it does fit the bill, doesn't it? Flickr is
incredibly useful for webby types because it takes any type of image -
not just jpeg pictures - and allows you to share, tag and get comments
on them pretty easily. Posting a design draft on Flickr (with
appropriate "who can view" limitations) and getting viewing stats,
comments and other goodies - for free - makes it a really nice tool
for me. It's also pretty tightly integrated into most blogging
platforms so it's nice to use as an image storehouse if you do a fair
bit of blogging.
That's why *I* use it - your mileage may vary, of course!!
