Perhaps Yahoo should have been split into smaller companies sooner. With better management, Flickr could have been Instagram.

- toomuchtodo 11y agoI've been preparing to try to make an offer for Flickr in the event it goes up for sale (separate from the rest of the web business), organizing it as a benefit corp to be a long term business not to be put up for sale. It shouldn't be an Instagram. Its not a social network. Its a photo site that helps you organize/keep your photos, as well as share them (there's a difference). Just bidding my time, ear to the ground.
- tamana 11y agoWhy? There are many great photography hosting services. Flickr is only special because Yahoo makes it free as a marketing gesture
- toomuchtodo 11y agoCan you list one? I've found SmugMug and 500px to be significantly inferior to Flickr, which is why I'm still a Pro Flickr subscriber.
- voltagex_ 11y agoSeriously? That's amazing.
- jacquesm 11y agoVery curious about what you plan on to make it profitable.
- toomuchtodo 11y agoI don't plan on making it profitable. I plan on just making it break even. It was previously profitable for Yahoo on Pro accounts alone (disclaimer: I am a pro account holder).
