You make some valid points. I was not aware of the Google+ photo album design but then again I was only a user when it was mandatory within Google. I don't personally know anyone outside of Google who uses it. Quite a few public figures have accounts but none of my friends are on there. Google+ feels like a very closed community. I've never seen anyone share links to albums on there whereas someone is always passing around a Flickr, Twitter, Facebook, Imgur or Dropbox url. Flickr is almost 10 years old. They've been around longer than anyone right? It only makes sense that they would have one of the most mature products relevant to people who want to maintain thousands of photos and share them. I think we'll see a lot more interesting features for Flickr over the next year as social and mobile becomes a bigger priority for Yahoo.

Not sure if you're trolling. Google+ has never been mandatory within Google. There's plenty of people at Google who despise Vic Gundotra and don't want to have anything to do with G+. On the other hand, there are very active and vibrant communities in Google+, perhaps you should try looking them some time.

  Oh I have nothing against G+ personally. I just don't use it and none of my friends do either. If there was a significant level of activity on there or better content discovery then perhaps I would use it.

    Did you actually click on the link and look at the timestamps, or are you just blowing smoke?
