and the winner is...
Yahoo! is the
winner of the Flickr sweepstakes, according to the
Flickr blog. Important quotes (for me, at least) from the post:
Yahoo Photos and Flickr have different kinds of users with different needs, and will remain separate for the foreseeable future. Flickr would also suffer from a sudden deluge of LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! omg! so we're going to grow it carefully.
Yes, separate. Thank you.
The fabulous Flickr API will continue to be open wide as all the outdoors, though we really gotta work on those commercial use licenses.
Good on the open wide, and there's nothing wrong with commercial use licenses. Really.
Pro account holders will get super mega bonuses, to be announced soon.
Hooray! I wonder what my $41.77 gets me now, since I'm already happy just to have the freakin' service as-is!
Congrats to the good folks at Ludicorp.
