You made a good point regarding a possible peak in the fetching price for flickr. Unfortunately, observers’/users’ emotions get the best of them (cult of…) and they take any comments that hint of negativity (nee objectivity/reality) as an affront to their support of said company. Happens all the time.

That said, flickr will sell out. Why hold on long-term? Picasa? Gone in just a few years. Hotmail? Ditto. I give Vonage 2 more years and they’re out. Can’t see holding on when there is much personal gain staring you in the face.
