How do you feel about photos and other multimedia content?
Personally, I feel that it's a very complicated question. Certainly photos can be of significant benefit to a lot of conversations, but they also can easily dominate conversations and be a mechanism for abuse. They also eat server space. IMO, the old process of linking to photos worked fairly well, but it's not at all ideal in that it doesn't work well for one-off images and requires people to have a place to host photos.
