Snipshot, a web2.0 photo editing application.
Flickr is about pictoral art. I love how the admins and developers at Flickr have such a focus on good photography, it bleeds over into how people use it (and there’s a lot of great art there too). And it amazes me that it hasn’t degraded into a MySpace or pr0n-like Usenet. Yay passion!
