Flickr: The new newsletter?



is flickr the new newsletter? the generic update that is not specifically for anyone, just everyone you know? is it annoying that way? newsletters have their place, i'm always happy to hear what people are up to, but there is that moment at the end, when i'm left with the feeling that i'm just one of many, that i don't have that "special" relationship with my friend anymore, that their scope has just grown so big that i have shrunken in importance.

does flickr do this too?

guy and i are flickr maniacs. we love photography and we do a lot of stuff, but is it annoying to friends of mine who i used to be closer to, to people who are still dear to me and who i want to share with, but maybe i don't have as many personal conversations with anymore. they don't hear from me for a while, and then they get this massive email sent to a hundred people with a link pointing to photographs showing what a great time i'm having?

should i pull in the reins on flickr? or keep flicking away? does everyone really wanna know everything?
