It annoys when a service is updated and loses capabilities in the process. This seems to happen fairly regularly of late and I am not certain if the idea is to somehow make the user experience easier or removing capabilities is a cost saving measure (own up if this is the reason).
One of the capabilities of Flickr I thought had great value to students was the ability to add notes to images. In the old days and not in Flickr, I remember this being described as creating an image map. The idea is that one can identify “hot spots” on an image and take an action (e.g., display text) when a user mouses over that spot on the photo.
This is what the creation of a “note” used to look like on Flickr. I am fairly certain this capability has been removed. Please let me know if I am wrong.
