Inc magazine has published an interesting conversation with Flickr co-founders Caterina Fake and Stewart Butterfield. They reminisce about the very beginning of Flickr, how they came up with the name and how they had originally planned on making a game. Flickr has grown into an amazing service and I feel lucky I got a chance to spend my days at Yahoo! working in the same bullpen as Caterina.
PaulStamatiou.com runs on the Thesis Theme for WordPress
Thesis is the search engine optimized WordPress theme of choice for serious online publishers. If you’re a blogger who doesn’t understand a lot of PHP, Thesis will give a ton of functionality without having to alter any code. For the advanced, Thesis has incredible customization possibilities via Thesis hooks.
With so many design options, you can use the template over and over and never have it look like the same site. The theme is robust and flexible enough not only to accommodate a site like PaulStamatiou.com, but also to enable the site to run far more efficiently than it ever has before.
I used the Scribe WordPress plugin and service to optimize this blog post for SEO.

Thanks for the link Paul, interesting article. I’m curious why Butterfield says “we shouldn’t have sold when we did.” Up to that point in the article it sounded like there were no bitter feelings about selling. Perhaps it was the combination of helping their ill friend and that the article is from an entrepreneur magazine where “selling out” is “bad”? Ideas?
