We noticed a short while ago that social photography site Flickr was down. We were hoping that it would just be a minor hiccup, but it looks like that Flickr has been going online and offline for some time.

There are several new updates on the Flickr Blog over the issues. The first update was at 8:51 AM PT and the last one was at 10:50 AM PT. Here is the full text from Flickr:

“10:50 AM PDT: Hey, we wanted to make sure you all knew, if you embedded photos from a photopage on Flickr, we are still serving them. So, if they are posted to your blog, your photos will still be showing there. What we are doing now is working on getting all our WWW servers back on for everyone; this includes bringing the API back up, which has been affected as well. Sorry for the downtime to everyone, we hate it as much as you!

10:05 AM PDT: We’re still here working on getting things up and serving to you, shouldn’t be too much longer!

9:18 AM, PDT: Hello! All hands are on deck over here and we’re still working on getting things back up for everyone. Apologies for the disruption!

8:51 AM, PDT: Ahoy everyone! Flickr is experiencing problems at the present time, and our engineers are all in the main engine room, working on resolving the issue. Please hang tight, and we’ll have things back for you as soon as possible. If we need to, we’ll post an update for you here.”

We’ll update this post when Flickr is back online.
