With around 200'000 members, serving 2.2m photos at a rate of around 30'000 images each day, Flickr continues to delight and impress with its intuitive and fun and photosharing network...a great illustration of some of Donald Norman's Emotional Design concepts.
Like Gmail, one of its greatest strengths is the novel application of HTML+CSS in creating highly intuitive interface elements, notably the ability to click any editable section of a page, make changes and save without refreshing the page.
Also, in Fruit At The Bottom, Matt Jones writes about the value of Flickr's footer-positioned, task-based navigation as an interface device more likely to encourage exploration...something to consider for Wanadoo UK's casino-like home page!
