I came across the new website for Layers Magazine recently. It’s focused on tips and tricks for Adobe’s professional products and features an overview of Vanishing Point that’s worth checking out. What does this have to do with fragmentation…

No secret that I think Flickr is hot stuff (just refer back to my recent posts about Flickr here and here). It’s definitely Web 2.0 material. Flickr investors like Esther Dyson must be pretty happy right now, but Yahoo! stockholders should be even hap…

Robert “Scobleizer” Scoble asked the question: “How much was Flickr paid?” Depending on whom you believe, as low as $15 million or as high as $30-$35 million.

SiliconBeat/Mercury News’ Michael Bazeley comments on  the Yahoo-Flickr deal: …

Se está reportando y rumoreando que Yahoo! para comprar a Flickr puso entre u$s30 y u$s35 millones de dólares “on the table”, nada de stocks.

Pero como.. ¿¿Vuelven los 90 y nadie me avisó??…

That is probably less than a penny per fawning article/blog in the last 15 months….

“The things that were important to us were: being open, building innovative stuff and kicking ass. Were these people OUR people? Yes. See the stuff Yahoo’s announced recently (including, of course,this)? They’re evolving in really interesting ways – and from our look inside, we know that there’s a lot more coming.â€?

I believe this is the first step in a series of efforts by Yahoo! to focus a lot more attention on “citizen’s media�-type products and services. They’ve integrated a relatively simple and effective RSS feed reader into their my.yahoo.com and they’re certainly not going to stop there. Flickr is a natural extension of this strategy and will be integrated directly into my.yahoo.com. (I would expect some promising TV/video integration shortly.) The bottom line is that Yahoo! has gotten religion on the whole idea that consumers are also producers of digital media (and that this market may someday rival the existing mass-market for digital content). Expect my.yahoo.com to feature very prominently in Yahoo!’s overall business plan and expect to see a whole range of open media aggregation efforts in the near future. (That Semel guy isn’t following the path that most Hollywood execs would have. I predict Yahoo! will be scary successful in this effort.)

Word is this morning that the deal is worth $30-35 million.  SiliconBeat is calling $30, Om Malik is calling $35.  I’m going with Om. …

And so it is confirmed, Yahoo had acquired Flickr. (more accurately, they had acquired Ludicorp, the company behind Flickr.) Photomatt called t
