Back in the day I was the first person to create a service using the Flickr API, so that the Flickr folks could show off their API when they launched. I called my demo app reviewr.com [1]

My original choice of colour scheme was (deliberately) very close to what Flickr was using at the time, and Stewart Butterfield (who ran the show back then) asked me to change the colours a bit.

I don't recall Stewart having a problem with me dropping a vowel in the domain name, even though at the time this was a novel domain hack on the part of Flickr.

Just saw this. Interesting. You were working as an ally though, unlike the situation here :P
