Looks like Flickr got a new home page...

Looks like they optimized for larger screens. The old one for reference:

They push Creative Commons a bit more now by linking a CC icon to their CC page, but there's still no super-easy way to get from the homepage to their all-Creative-Commons-photos search. (You need to find the advanced search page for that, but it's not linked next to the homepage search box...)

New homepage because NEW LANGUAGES AVAILABLE!

French, German, Italian, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish and Traditional Chinese, according to the Flickr blog. They set a cookie to save your language selection but you'll stay on the same URLs, it seems...

Why is that the value of "lang" in the language selection for Spanish is "es-us"? (compare to German: de-de, Italian: it-it)

Spanglish?

It looks better and more 2.0 :)

Haochi: maybe there is a few differences between Spanish from Spain and American Spanish? Just as there are differences between French from France and Canadian French (> fr-FR & fr-CA)
