Yahoocracy?!

Last night I had to register an additional FlickR account to put up some of the artistic photos of Lush Christmas products that I’d taken earlier in the day. Yahoo prompted me to register a new ID, as one obviously can’t link two FlickR accounts to one. I noticed that Serbia and Montenegro were not separated on their provided list of countries, so I selected Serbia & Montenegro and…

…the result was that I had to lie that I’m from Macedonia, because their system was refusing to register me otherwise!

I do not know if they’d ever respond to my email, but this is sure a matter worth complaining about. Not only that they did not update the list, but they also don’t let me be from the country that I was from prior to the split in May 2006. Many sites still list Serbia & Montenegro together (and I have no problem with it), some other list Yugoslavia (I do have a problem with it because if there was one more US state they’d rush to add it and they couldn’t have updated this one ever since early 2003!); but whatever is they list, I am allowed to register when I select it. This is highly bizzare!

Oh yes, and MyBlogLog was giving me a MySQL error when I was trying to update my information. But this is worse.
