So the folks at Ludicorp have a hit with Flickr, as many have noted… more power to them. The interesting part, as I was reminded by this light-hearted post comparing Flickr to a MMRPG (via Jeff Veen) that Ludicorp was originally founded to create the Game Neverending. At this point, the folks at Ludicorp have even removed the references to that project, which was their original goal as a company. Can’t blame them, but take a look back to January 3, 2004, courtesy of the Wayback Machine. I never played/saw what they were working on, but if they ever go back to GNE, expectations will be high.
I do “blame” Flickr for making blogging about metadata all the rage. I’ve done my own navel-gazing here, but my head is starting to spin… or is that my eyes are starting to droop? Nevermind.
