SmugMug bought Flickr
- aaronbrethorst 8y agoThis is exciting! I've long believed that Flickr should have doubled down on their existing users instead of trying to become another Instagram. A longtime fan of Flickr, MacAskill says before making any decisions, he plans to collect feedback from employees and users. Hey Don - I used to pay money for Flickr, and I'm happy to start paying again if there is evidence of forward motion. I want to have a place to securely store my RAW files in addition to my edited photographs, and I want to see a focus on community again.
- bhartzer 8y agoTotally agree, I used to pay Flickr for years, but stopped paying a while back. Would be happy to pay again if I can store original files there.
- influxed 8y agoVery excited for this. It's quite disappointing to see the one/only popular photo sharing app (instagram) work so hard to restrict usage to phone apps. Sometimes you want to share photos from a non-phone camera, or look at photos on your computer screen. Rooting for you flickr!
- rhizome 8y agoFinally, some hope that Georges Haddad's work can be erased.
- brandoncordell 8y agoOh wow! I'm cautiously optimistic that Flickr can be brought back from the dead. I loved Flickr's platform to share my photos and find other photographers to follow and get inspiration from. C'mon SmugMug!
- nojvek 8y agoIt’s rare that sites come back from the dead, but Flickr has a great niche if they can fully exploit it.
