Microsoft Trying to Take Over Yahoo (Flickr)

February 3, 2008 by debbie T | Flickr • Internet

Microsoft is trying to take over Yahoo.

Microsoft & Flickr?? Oh no!

Whether it’s a hostile takeover or not, this is something I am not happy about. As it is, Yahoo seems to neglect proper upkeep of Flickr. If Microsoft takes over Yahoo, I don’t want to think what they will do to Flickr.

I don’t care about Yahoo Mail or Search engine, but the community at Flickr is unmatched by no other photo sharing site.

I can easily upload my photos using the iPhoto Flickr plugin. I have made so many wonderful friends at Flickr. If Microsoft makes negative changes, I will be very sad. I know it sounds a bit pathetic that I could be so addicted and affected by a website, but it really is a fun community. And unfortunately, there really is no other place to go.

I really hope the purchase doesn’t go through, but truthfully, I can’t see it NOT going through….so hold on Flickr users, it is going to be a bumpy ride!
