My Flickr isn't REST rant

Abstract

Ok, so I was all set to write a big rant about how Flickr isn't using REST at all, even though they call it REST everywhere (it's a very nice RPC API, but REST it's not). Then, I did a quick search for similar rants and found this.

Enough said, thanks to Gareth Rushgrove I don't have to write a rant now ;).

To summarize, in Gareth's own words:
And remember, just because an API makes use of HTTP doesn’t make it RESTful.
