So what will happen to users who have a smugmug and Flickr account? Will they do an almost merge ala Google and YouTube?

  We're not planning on merging the products, but we realize there are customers with both that might like them to be even easier to use together. I don't know what shape that'll look like yet, or when you might expect it, but I'm excited to dig in and find out.

    I'm a longtime Flickr paid user (still am, as others have said, mostly from inertia). I am curious, if Flickr and Smugmug will stay separate, what differences between the two will be highlighted/ upgraded? What does the new owner envision will be their respective "expertise". For now I'll stick with Flickr, but I'd love to learn more about how Flickr and Smugmug will be similar and more importantly, different. There are so many photographers out there - differing quality, attention span, interests, and purposes.. so time will tell if/what niches these two entities will be touted to meet best.
