Yahoo BUYS Flickr! No.SERIOUSLY
from: Flickerblog
Jaysay:If you haven't noticed, pretty much every photo here is being served to j1.ca from Flickr. I honestly love the interface and features, I post maybe once or twice a week with the sophisticated art like robots and angry monkeys cartoons. I'm of course frightened of change (see Screensavers post below) but old Flickr Pro holders (me) are being eased into the change with promises of "super mega bonuses" for our early adoptive good faith. I'm just wondering if they'll be keeping the units seperate, how flickr will become a part of Yahoo 360? I'll update as this all shakes out....You're not going to become a bunch of suits?
No, no, no! The
precious DNA we've got -- that of the Ludicrew -- is on side and revving up for
building Flickr. Having the team building out the team's vision for Flickr has

Are you going to become Yahoo Photos?
No. Yahoo Photos will get a lot of
Flickr features, and there are alot of other areas around Yahoo that will also
be Flickrized where Flickrization would be good. Yahoo Photos and Flickr have
different kinds of users with different needs, and will remain separate for the
foreseeable future. Flickr would also suffer from a sudden deluge of
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! omg! so we're going to grow it carefully.Comment from Yahoo's Jeremy Zawodny: http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/004362.html
