So is it safe to claim that he was fed this and other “exclusives”? Can somebody remind me how blogging is supposed to be different than the so-called mainstream media?
Why does someone who does journalistic things have to be part of the mainstream media, and why can’t a blogger be a journalist? I don’t know if he was “fed” this information, I would imagine if they wanted to leak the story a company would do it closer to the real announcement and in a real publication like the NYT or WSJ, not on a blog.
They would have gotten rich even without Yahoo. I am worried that Yahoo will do to Flickr the some c**p they did to Geocities, of which I was a member.
I get the sudden feeling that google will expand Picasa now that this has happened. For the time being though, I do hope flickr doesn’t turn into a floodfest as Roy described.

Um, because he uses WordPress.

Oh, no. This is not good news. It’s a corporate war to own the internet, and that can’t be good.

Give it a month or two…
Your cherished Flickr will be ‘decorated’ with mugshots of Britney Spears and Ol’ Dirty Bastard.
Hmm, personally I think this is great news. Great, knowing that brilliant innovators on the web can still get rich. Hehe.

I wish I could say I thought this was a good thing….
