Happy 5th anniversary to Flickr, which launched on this date at ETech 2004 during the “Virtual Worlds, Distributed Interaction: Extending a MMOG with Remote Scripting, IM, Mobiles and REST” panel. Speaking of which, here’s the oldest surviving image in the Flickr database, ID #74 which was uploaded by Cal Henderson on December 15, 2003.
