I think combining Flickr and Tumblr could be a massive win for Yahoo! They have monetised Flickr successfully and the model they use to do that combined with Tumblr's current model could see them transform revenues on both titles very quickly. I do think Tumblr should grab the offer while it's on the table, however.
- ms-rm 13y agoQuick question: how did Yahoo monetize Flickr?
- davidm 13y agoQuick answer: Freemium +
- dakrisht 13y agoQuick rebuttal: Flickr barely makes any money.
- nikcub 13y agoand the freemium model was in place before Yahoo bought them I was a pro user, cancelled when Yahoo bought Flickr and forced us all to use Yahoo accounts.
- davidm 13y agoI did completely the opposite. I like what Yahoo have done with Flickr.
- davidm 13y agoThere are several sources that suggest Flickr revenues have been in excess of $100M per year for several years, possibly much more.
