Flickr Aquired?
I'm late to this (again!) but my Flickr friend Kris Krug posted a little poll/ survey based on certain rumours that Flickr might be bought out by Yahoo!. I'm a huge fan of Flickr, but not to the extent that I've given much thought as to whether they might be acquired and what might happen if they were. I don't really follow the corporate rumour mills, prefering instead to devote my energies/ limited free time towards politics and art outside of work. Kris had quite a bunch of folks weigh in, though, and from the looks of the flurry of comments he's received, most folks seem to be split btw., prefering Google over Yahoo! or prefering Ludicorp to stay independent.
The bottomline for me -- I love Flickr right now -- its features, design, fun, clean and intuitive interface, its customer focus and responsiveness. Twould be a shame to have anything or anyone that would damage that (more likely Yahoo! than Google?, or even god forbid, MSN).

My apologies for being off topic but I thought you might be interested in this article from the New Yorker about Neckface as I recall you're a fan.
Enjoy.
