Sure, nor the others (except maybe Flickr), Yahoo's problem is that they seem to acquire and then do nothing but rarely have they run acquisitions into the ground as such.
- aaronbrethorst 16y agoFlickr's on life support. From what I can tell peering in from the outside, the service is down to a skeleton crew. Too bad, really: I love Flickr, and don't look forward to seeing it croak.
- waterlesscloud 16y agoThe sad thing about Flickr is that it's being killed by Facebook and their massive picture uploading. And the only way that's a superior service is in sharing with friends, it falls way short in every other way. I suppose the sharing aspect is just what consumers have decided to value most.
- aaronbrethorst 16y agoFacebook must be killing them on the consumer side. On the higher end, photographers are using services like http://smugmug.com/ http://smugmug.com/, http://carbonmade.com/ http://carbonmade.com/ and http://livebooks.com/ http://livebooks.com/ I fancy myself as belonging to the prosumer/dedicated amateur photographer segment, and Flickr's still the best bet for me due to its social features and willingness to let me upload high-res photos. But I'd jump ship in a heartbeat if I could find another service that gave me a large community of like-minded photographers looking to improve their craft, AND the ability to securely store all of my RAW files. Seriously, I cannot overstate how important it is to me to be able to stuff all of my RAW files and finished products somewhere secure (in the data backup sense).
