Yahoo Buys Flickr

Yahoo Buys Flickr 03/22/2005 04:23 PM

Yahoo! has agreed to buy Ludicorp Research and Development, owners of photo sharing website Flickr, for an undisclosed sum. Flickr enables users to personalise photo collections on the web, where they can store, sort, search and share their photos. Flickr will remain a standalone site for now. The company's employees, however, will relocate to Sunnyvale later this year.

Earlier this week, Yahoo announced Yahoo 360. The service combines a new blogging tool, along with several longtime Yahoo products, including instant messaging, photo storage and sharing, and Internet radio. It also offers tools for sharing recommendations about places to eat, favorite movies, music and so on. Both the 360 move and the acquisition of Flickr and parent company Ludicorp Research & Development come as social networking and blogging draw increased interest from rivals. Microsoft in December added a blog product for its MSN Web service, called MSN Spaces. Google, meanwhile, owns Web log service Blogger and social networking site Orkut.

Vancouver tech businesses on special
this week: Flickr and SchemaSoft 03/22/2005 11:44 PM
Two Vancouver-based companies have made the news this week for being purchased by large technology firms. The first to announce was the purchase of Flickr by Yahoo. Flickr is the photo-sharing service we use to bring you many of our news story images and the random photos you see in the right margin. The company's blog states that, "It means that we'll no longer have to draw straws to see who gets paid... Flickr will be continuing on the path it's on -- to Flickr 1.0 and beyond. We'll be working with a bunch of people that Totally Get Flickr and want to preserve the community and the flavor of what is here."

Sure, that's kinda what Bungie said when Microsoft bought them.

The other acquisition was by Apple itself in its purchase of SchemaSoft. The software company, which currently has its headquarters in Vancouver, is best known for developing tools that aid various software in translating rival file formats.

I wonder why Apple would want to translate rival file formats.

SchemaSoft had also been a Visual Studio.NET Integration Partner since 1999, and worked with Microsoft to build parts of the .NET framework and the .NET services used by Microsoft itself.

I guess they won't be doing that so much anymore. Let the rumors fly.

The first time I used Flickr, I knew it was something different and something important. It took me a while to figure out and try to articulate exactly what that was, but I took my first swipe back in September when I called it a Next Generation Web Service. In that posting, I said: Flickr has been on my radar for a while now, but I only recently began to start playing with it. I'm impressed as hell. After my...

Yahoo's could not do it on their own so they had to buy one of my most favored music vendors. I have always been a big fan of Musicmatch and now that Yahoo has just bought them out I am sure they will ruin it. I stopped using Yahoo and brands they own when they went to a pay model on listing your site with them. I wonder if my Lifetime upgrade of Musicmatch will be honored. [News.co m]
