The Berlin Meet-up was an excellent event. I have met a lot of interesting and nice people. I knew some of them since a very long time just virtually and the meet-up was a good occasion to meet face to face.

I know Flickr since a couple of years now and I have never registered an account because it was very slow for my taste.

Kurt Tucholsky, 1930, (1890 - 1935)
