My 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.
