Flickr goes MORE social...

My favorite photo sharing site Flickr just launched a new facelift to their homepage. If you are still seeing the old look and feel, scroll down the page and look for a link to try out their new site. Click on it and you will get the blue/pink flickr theme 'snow flakes' falling on your screen.

New features include a small graphical display of the stats above your photo stream, with the major addition of a 'explore' section near the bottom of the page that displays the most 'interesting' photos shared in the last 7 days. There are also more AJAX changes to sections for 'recent activities', resulting in a better user experience without the usual click-wait-refresh of before. There seems to be more emphasis on 'Groups' as well although it is one feature which I hardly use often previously.
