Yahoo! didn't build Flickr.
Flickr came from Game Neverending. It was an in-game feature and it did so well, the game was never released. That came from Caterina Fake and Stewart Butterfield's team and their innovative work at Ludicorp. It was purchased and then became a squandered opportunity by Yahoo!
- dpcx 8y agoI don't think GP was suggesting that Yahoo built Flickr. They said it was Yahoo's most popular property. Which, outside of Mail, is probably a completely true statement. And they absolutely let it stagnate. The apps that were available for phones (once there were apps) were often pretty terrible, from my recollection.
- pier25 8y agoNever said they built it. But at its peak (I'd say around 2006-2010) it was owned by Yahoo.
- dirkgently 8y agoThanks for the history lesson. But OP never suggested that Yahoo built it.
