You're not going to become a bunch of suits?
No, no, no! The
precious DNA we've got -- that of the Ludicrew -- is on side and revving up for
building Flickr. Having the team building out the team's vision for Flickr has
been stressed as our number one priority, and keeping us around -- in spite of
our wiseassery, tomfoolery and tendency to hoot spontaneously -- is crucial for
preserving the Flickrness that is Flickr. They're not going to replace any
of us with suits, nor induce us to wear them. Lapel? I don't know what you mean.
Are you going to become Yahoo Photos?
No. Yahoo Photos will get a lot of
Flickr features, and there are alot of other areas around Yahoo that will also
be Flickrized where Flickrization would be good. Yahoo Photos and Flickr have
different kinds of users with different needs, and will remain separate for the
foreseeable future. Flickr would also suffer from a sudden deluge of

As a writer-director, actor, producer, author and
philanthropist, Spike Lee has revolutionized the role of black talent in cinema.
Widely regarded as today's premier African American filmmaker Lee is a
forerunner in the do-it-yourself school of independent film. Lee's films, Girl
6, Get on The Bus, Do The Right Thing and Clockers display his ability to
showcase a series of outspoken and provocative socio-political critiques that
challenge cultural assumptions not only about race but also class and gender
identity. This speaking engagement will be followed by an exclusive Q&A
opportunity.
