    I recently set up my Flickr account, and no sooner had I gotten to terms with it that I now cannot access it. I mainly access the Internet from work (at break times, ahem) but the company I work for have BLOCKED access to Flickr ! doh !!!!! feskers !
    Big Sorrie to my contacts.....
    So........I've set up my Pix.ie account, which I am currently getting used to. My 1st impression is that its a nice, simple, straight-foreward & fast site.

    yeah, my company just did the same thing. They must both use the same blacklist. TBH I was waiting for them to do it ever since flickr introduced video. Not so much because of the increased bandwidth but because it would make them regard flickr differently, as a you-tube or google video type thing.
