Interested in testing the new Flickr Search?

heather says:

We're reaching into the Flickrverse to invite you to participate in a
private beta test of some new search functionality.

This is an early invitation to a work in progress that we'll be rolling out
later this year. We very much want the community's feedback along the way.

[Yes, I'm game]

Space is limited and we will be throttling the number of members who can initially join. If you miss the boat, don't fret — we’ll widen the
scope of this test in the coming weeks.

Please note:
-- in joining the beta test, you will be required to sign an
non-disclosure-agreement-like document.
-- while we are working on translations, the beta test is primarily in English.

We're cross posting this message in the following places:

Thanks for opening this up to volunteers to test the new search feature. :)

As to privacy, I have no problem with the rules of the group and agreed to them, but how are you going to prevent people from blogging/twittering things they see in this public group if they don't join and agree to the rules?

good question. The group is going to be made private as soon as we have enough volunteers. And we know people on Flickr know how to keep secrets :-)

zyrcster, when we reach critical mass, the group will be made private -- most likely sometime later today, but good points.

Bummer. How will I be able to find all the donuts on Flickr without using the new search?
