Thanks for switching on commenting for those photos, Dug. They’re now properly littered with fake quotes.

Sorry about that, guys – bad Flickr defaults (or good, depending on how you feel about comment spam ;-). Feel free to comment / add notes now to your heart’s content.

To round out multimedia coverage of the event, be sure to check out David Buchanan’s ArbCamp 08 videos as well:

“The one photo having the “arbcamp08″ tag — as of this writing — that allows comments is the first item, by Ed Vielmetti”

Okay, well, could be an oversight. I was giddy as a schoolgirl based on the implied invitation to supply fake quotes to an entire Flickr set, but when it wasn’t clear to me how to do that, I quickly became distracted. Now, without even checking first, I think I’ll try one for Ed’s picture: “No, dude, the lyric goes, hop on the bus, Gus, not get on The Ride, Clyde.”

All of the photos posted by Dug have been restricted (by him) to disallow comments. The one photo having the “arbcamp08″ tag — as of this writing — that allows comments is the first item, by Ed Vielmetti.

In other words: the no-comment restriction has nothing to do with the tag, but rather with the person who has posted the majority of the items therein.

Question for Dug Song or anyone else who know ins and outs of Flickr: Even when I am logged in to a Flickr account the photos to which Dug has linked don’t seem to offer opportunity to comment. Why is that?

Other folks on twitter used a slightly different twitter hashtag (which @arbcamp asked us to use in the first place), so see also:
