Fascinating...

...article here, it's an interview with one of the designers of Flickr a guy called Eric Costello...

Excerpt - "JJG: Tell us a little bit about The Game Neverending, because I think there are a lot of people who aren’t familiar with that aspect of Flickr’s roots.
EC: With The Game Neverending, we hoped to build a massively multiplayer online game that was totally Web-based. You could play the game from a browser wherever you were. It was a Flash app that talked to a Java application server that we built. It’s still a great idea. Someone still needs to do it."

Mad!
