Wired: Flickr Cracks Down on Screenshots (via Rafe Colburn):
At stake is a little-known Flickr policy of flagging accounts that contain mostly non-photographic images and preventing images from those accounts from appearing in public areas of the site, including search.Although I applaud the preferential treatment of the real over the virtual, I can see how not everyone would be happy about this.
Then again, can't someone use the Flickr API to build a alternative home/search page that only contains screenshots?
