Hurrah! Smug Mug have bought Flickr. Which, I think, is great news. It's time to get out the bunting and celebrate. I'm pretty invested in Flickr. I've been paying my annual Pro subscription since August 2006, but I originally signed up some time before that. I get unlimited storage for my $25 a year, which … Continue reading Flickr’s New Home
Come August, I will have had my Flickr Pro account for 10 years. I originally signed up sometime in 2005, but it took a while before I was convinced to part with my hard earned cash for a paid account.

Incidentally, I think Yahoo and Microsoft are a match made in heaven. The latter are looking for a new CEO. The former have one … Continue reading Yahoo Weather App

I guess the first thing most people will want to know is that everyone now gets a free terabyte of space. That's huge. In … Continue reading Flickr Reinvented
Last Wednesday I got an email from Yahoo! telling me that Yahoo! Video is changing. It was pretty clear by the end of the first sentence that what they really meant was 'Yahoo! Video is closing.'
