Flickr is having trouble with connections, can't create new account at this time. They must be swarmed. That's another problem for alternatives, not many can handle the traffic Instagram already has overnight.

What a shit move. I was going to sign up in the new year (I'm a very late adopter) too.

instaport.me is down, so there's probably lots of folks jumping ship.

I love that the common rip on Instagram is that it's filled with pictures people have taken of food.

Has anyone check out flickr's update?
the website's update is really subtle, but the mobile app is great! I can totally see it as a power house. plus they respect people's owner ship of photos.

"plus they respect people's owner ship of photos"
And will until it benefits them to change (perhaps if this Instagram change turns out to be profitable). Flickr isn't a charity, it's a corporation.

well all we can do is wait and see :)
They do however have partnered with Getty Images currently. This "make your public photos available for a licensing request. A Getty Images editor will review the request and send you a FlickrMail. You can then approve or deny the request." Pretty fair i say.
