I don't think so. Flickr is great for a lot of people, but is great for everyone that currently uses it? No. It doesn't have the personal touch that a tumblr type site has nor the flexibility. Plus you are locked in (I haven't used Flickr in a long time, but maybe it is more open now?) with it.
Posterous and Tumblr (my favorite of the two) have made blogs about as easy as using Twitter (or Facebook) and there is a lot of market for them to go after.

- Zev 16y agoSay you have a pro account for larger photo sizes, and then your pro account expires. Neither you (or anyone else ) can access photos that you uploaded at their original sizes anymore. You're limited to 1024x768. The only way to get the original sized photos back is to get another pro account.
- booi 16y agoThat's not called lock-in, that's just service. Lock-in would be if they didn't provide an easy way to get your data off, forcing you to continue to use flickr (you're locked in). But they provide a clean API for you to do just that. There are lots of tools you can use to pull your data off easily.
