I think the flickr option is, by far, the most valuable part of the plugin, but it's a bit buggy in the way it displays the CC attribution info. (Huge space underneath). The opt-out of search links was the first thing that came to mind when I fired it up on my post last night, but for an initial release, I'd say it's pretty well implemented. The only frustrating thing is the latent HTML code that stays in your post even if you deactivate the shortcut. I'd use the badge version of the Shopping shortcut in a heartbeat if they had some sort of affiliate program (like Amazon associates) in place. And I'll make you deal: I'll get you the Mercedes after I make my first billion. K? Your comments are pretty much in line with my criticisms of it.
