I miss the way things used to be.
You know that icky phenomenon where a good friend starts dating a bad seed, and then she stops being all cool the way she used to be, and since he’s always around, she starts becoming so much like him that she even takes on some of his mannerisms?
Well, that’s Flickr and Yahoo. (Old news, I know.)
But this seems like a shining, shocking example of what that unholy union has created:
A little animation of this construction dude bouncing up and down on his jackhammer and rolling his eyes up at you every few seconds as part of communication that you should wait anywhere between a few minutes and a day for your stats to be ready?
Tell me how this matches the visual design, culture, or personal style of Flickr.
If I’m wrong and this was actually pre-Yahoo, I’ll eat my hat.
