I have wanted a Flickr competitor with start-up culture and mentality for a while
Kind of like Flickr was back when they were a startup?
I want a competitor who can exist and provide hassle-free service for at least a decade, and my standards are always rising. I can't spend all my time jumping ship from one "start out, sell out, burn out" company to the next.
Yes, there is an opportunity: to provide a service that is sustainable.
- mechanical_fish 16y agoIt's funny: I managed to put off uploading my photos to Flickr for so long that I out-delayed Flickr itself. Procrastination for the win, I guess. Where will my photos end up? Dropbox, perhaps. Dropbox really is a great startup: My local data is backed up online and vice versa. If they vanished tomorrow I'd lose nothing. Would barely even have to think. Maybe someone should value-add some more Flickr features to Dropbox.
- kmfrk 16y agoI don't know about the "they" - I don't know if anything happened after the creator(s) sold it. As I recall, the original creator resigned quite vociferously. Maybe some services should just be replaced every five years.
