Horie's Livedoor portal makes a Flickr clone, right down to the tags and even the color scheme.

To the Livedoor engineering team: sucks to be you who has to copy the work of others.

The font's the same, the user's photo stream page is almost a carbon copy, not to mention the default user icon... That's sad.

Ouch. That is painful.

That just shows that if you don't release a software with a few languages, then you can t really penetrate those markets and you are bound to get smbd there that ll just help himself out.
Would data center scalling problems be the only reason why Flickr never got other language interfaces?

One sad thing indeed is that most of the users of PICS don t know/will never know about Flickr...

what can i say, "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery."

its always cheaper and easier to copy than innovate, and after all, isnt that business as usual in japan?
