I Paid for Flickr Pro

By Jian Shuo Wang on 2005-05-12 23:31 · Life

At the first try of Flickr, I know I will pay for this service. It is only a matter of time. Today, when I wanted to upload, the bandwidth I have used reached 99% and I cannot upload. I am not frustrated at all, since my credit card is ready within my reach. I paid 24.95 USD for the Flickr Pro immediately. It works great. Now I have 2G disk space (or bandwidth) and permement archive (for one year).

Before I paid, I noticed there are 2 new mails. I was quick enough to complete the payment and thought I can check the mail later. It prooved I was completely wrong.

In one mail, my reader snack offered a free flickr account for me: “I have a Pro account, and they gave me 2 additional Pro accounts to give away for free. I have one left - would you like it?”. I would definitely say “I like it”, if I didn’t pay. :-) I would like to thank Snack for the kindness so much. Flickr account is a perfect gift to share, I agree.

I have a same story:

Last October, I bought my first laptop computer and show it off to my every friend, one of my friends who works in IBM told me, "I can buy a much cheaper one with the employee identity, why not contact me first..."

Seems Flickr's security is not good.

I added jianshuo as my friend.

I saw some private photos of him from my contacts' photos page.

I believe he didn't add me as friend yet.

Any when I click at them, it shows I don't have permission.

I see you guys have a whole bunch of Flickr Pro accounts and don't know what to do with them! Well, I don't have a Pro account, so if you'd like, give one to me! My Flickr nickname is Jurica Goja, and my e-mail is jurica.goja@gmail.com, so there are a lot of ways to contact me if you're interested in sharing your accounts.

Please!!!!!

Jurica
