Just signed up after seeing an article on Ajaxian. First impression: Why no use of oAuth on flickr photo import? I assume I can import _anyones_ photos at the moment.
by Andy, 3 months ago
**@Andy**: This is true and something we've have planned to fix for the next release (roughly 1 week away). We will be using Flickr oAuth and also provide the option of importing your private flickr images to your account.

Finding photographs with Creative Commons licenses is very important to me. How can I search for these in 72photos?

I like your look, but what's up with the teeny-tiny, itzi-bitzi font sizes? best of luck!
by Tony, 3 months ago
**@Sarah**: We're actually planning to implement a creative commons explore section and a number of advanced search options which will allow the searching and browsing of photos under CC's. Look out for the advanced search next week and the explore section in about 2 weeks.

**@Tony**: We'll definitely be bumping up the font-sizes in next weeks release. Keep an eye out for that.
