Dear Flickr,

I just wanted to write to you to tell you how much I love you. Of all the social sites out there, you are my favorite above and beyond all others. I feel like you make it easy for me to catch up with my friends, see what's happening in their lives, share in their surprises and sadness, and laugh along with them during their good times.

This is a special feeling that you give me, Flickr, and I don't take it lightly. That's why I gladly pay my $25 per year for a pro account, and would pay double that if asked. Your tools for uploading, organizing, tagging, adding notes, searching, and browsing are exceptional, and I feel like genuine thought has gone into your information architecture and workflow.

But that's just technical talk, and I know it bores you to hear it. You don't really ask much of me, but I felt like I had to write to you and tell you how I feel. Flickr, I love you, and I'm in love with you.

Sincerely,

Steve
