New Flickr Feature….Coming Soon

March 6th, 2007

According to Thomas Hawk (who got it from a post by the Flickr Chief, users will soon be able to create subsets, or sets within sets.  Very useful.  Of course, they are going to make it easy to do.  Flickr always does.

"Interesting to note recent comments by Flickr Chief Stewart Butterfield about an upcoming feature due out likely soon at Flickr. "Sets of Sets," or being able create sub albums in your Flickr albums has probably been the single most requested feature at Flickr over the past two years or so. About four months ago Stewart indicated in a Flickr Ideas forum that this feature was being worked on and recent comments now indicate that it’s close to launch."

    That’s really interesting, as the feature I want the most is more granular permissions. “Friends” is a pretty big group, and there are others I’d like to be able to designate - coworkers, friendsters, etc. That’s usually what I hear most from other users, too, so I hope they look at this next.

    I’d further that delegated, individual passwords would be a boon for true, focused growth of a collection. The Groups concept is interesting but too flat and doesn’t allow enough intentional aggregation. Set Sets will be useful….
