Flickr ushered in the so-called Web 2.0 integrating features such as social networking, community open APIs, tagging, and algorithms that surfaced the best, or more interesting content. Flickr was bought by Yahoo! in 2005. After Yahoo! Fake co-founded Hunch, a search and discovery engine.

She is currently the Founder and CEO of Findery, a social mobile application for places. Findery’s members post notes around the world, telling stories about locations on a host of subjects such as personal history, local news and world history.
