Will flickr's mum YAHOO be eaten by Microsoft?

Wednesday February 6, 2008 at 11:56AM

Some time ago flickr was eaten by yahoo and (among other things) all users "were allowed to create" yahoo accounts in order to log in. I just read (here! [dutch]) that Microsoft plans to eat YAHOO. If that happens you can imagine what the consequences for flickr's services will be.

For now I joined the protest-group, but as soon as Microsoft indeed buys yahoo I will quit my account for sure. It's not that I did very much with my flickr account, but if it's infected I don't even want it to exist for a handfull of pictures.

Here at ipernity I feel much more home and I hope that in future we are NOT confronted with any take-over of ipernity by any big bad brother company...

I don't know yet howto delete an yahoo account, but your flickr account can be at www.flickr.com/account and for as far as I know a hotmail account will be deactivated if you don't check your mail for some time...

Haven't heard of plans for creating ipernity mailboxes. That would sure be nice, but isn't really necessary, don't you think?
How free btw. gmail really is...the future will show.

I sure hope it'll work out that way ... as ipernity is so much better nowadays ... I think a lot of members will leave flickr if that happens ... and hopefully they find their way to ipernity

For those leavers indeed I hope they'll find their way to ipernity. :)

Flickr, Yahoo, Microsoft there's hardly a bigger fish now. I also think that a certain Microsoft application called photosynth isn't particularly innocent when it came to the decision to buy Yahoo...

I also am considering the switch from flickr to ipernity. So far, from what I've seen here, there's only one thing that keeps me from switching: the community ties I have on flickr. But if Microsoft buys the space I'm out of there.
