Flickr bought by Yahoo

I’ve only been using the service for a few months and only just beginning to explore what it can offer, but can share both the feeling of congratulations offered plus the worries expressed in the comments on the FlickrBlog. I’ve used Yahoo photos as well as their other services and whilst good, I don’t find they have the straightforwardness of Flickr. So here’s hoping, as Jeremy Zawodny says, that this is the start of something good, an acceleration of the potential that is there.

I upgraded to Pro version last week so that I can increase the numbers of photos and the sets I have; I’m about to start loading up some of the high resolution images for sharing. Using such a great service was encouraging me to take more photos, and I’ve taken to carrying the camera everywhere. More images to come inthe future 😉
