- Domenic_S 15y agoDoes openphoto have albums yet? Last I looked was maybe 2 months ago, but their lack made OP a non-starter for me.
- jmathai 15y agoWe'll have albums in the 1.4 or 1.4.1 release (3-5 weeks). We had a lot of going back and forth on how tags and albums should co-exist. Glad to say we've resolve all that now just have to add the feature in. Next major milestones are mobile apps for iOS and Android in the 1.4 release.
- Herring 15y agoAnd if they're not competent enough to do the core stuff, chances are they'll screw up the facelift, as digg did.
- jmathai 15y agoMy guess is that the facelift will be nice. A good "update" to Flickr that users will actually like. But the piece Yahoo! lacks is the persistence with new features and products to make them great. How I've seen it go down is the product person in charge gets a promotion or leaves and someone else swoops in with a different vision. Basically, annihilating all the work and progress made prior to their arrival. Trust me, this is how Yahoo! operates.
