Flickr Down
There was a moment last night when I logged in to Flickr and the site was down. Instead of boring excuses laden with empty apologies there was this fun, engaging and on-brand message that turned the whole event in to a creative contest.
Arrggh! Our tubes are clogged!
Because this sucks*, we thought you might like to enter an impromptu competition to win a FREE PRO ACCOUNT!Just print out this page and colour in the dots. When the site’s back up, take a photo of your creation and post it to Flickr, tagged with “flickrcolourcontest”.
Team Flickr will pick a winner in the next couple of days, and that lucky duck will get a free year of Pro.
* Seriously, we apologise for the unannounced downtime. We’re working as fast as we can to get flickr.com back online.
Beautifully handled Team Flickr!
COOL HUNTING always gets permission to use the images we publish; however, as an independent publication, we cannot afford to continue fighting unfair claims of copyright infringement, so the images have been removed from this post.
