Guess that some of the social media platform really need the manpower to get up and running, and once they feel they are there, they let people go....and then the "people" of social media take on the workload to grow it for them without being on payroll :)

Lately there is more and more talk of that flickr is among the assets Yahoo is preparing to sell to Microsoft.

I really feel bad about Flickr engineers being laid off. And also for so many other yahoo engineers from so many other yahoo properties.
Yahoo’s management is responsible for the bad shape of Yahoo. It did had great engineers (obviously that’s no more the case. People don’t want to stay in a company which does layoffs every quarter and no one has any idea on who gets laid off.)
What I wonder is why do they fire engineers when the fault lies somewhere. And people who are responsible are still having a good time at Yahoo while those who worked hard building their products are gone.
When the whole ship has been rusted what good does it do to just change the steering.
Yahoo has been really good at getting things all messed up and wrong.It’s not just the CEO who can change things. The whole management needs to change – at least till the senior manager level, they have all been corrupted by the old culture. And I do wonder if Jerry could not do anything about it what magic Carol can do, except may be attempt to sell it again.(That’s the easiest way to change the whole management).And they need to sell it quickly before every Yahoo engineer worth his/her salt has already joined MS or Google.

For me, picasa isn’t giving me what I want when it comes to organization online. The program itself is beautifully done, but what i love about flickr is when I can set a collection to be “2009″, and in that have seperate dates for past events. + its unlimited webstorage! google’s online system has to pick it up if they are going to win my heart.

Flickr is awesome, and certainly one of Yahoo’s top products.

That really sucks, I love Flickr, I don’t use anything else that Yahoo owns. I hope Yahoo gets their act together and does something useful, they don’t seem to have much of a vision anymore – they just limp along like a wounded animal.
