Yahoo! Does Acquire Flickr

So it turns out the rumours were true after all, Yahoo! has actually acquired Flickr.

I wrote about this here, when the rumours first surfaced, and I basically thought it was bad news.

Now after reading what the guys at Flickr have to say about it, I’m feeling a bit better about it all, but will still be watching how things go with some skepticism.

I just wish the Flickr people continue to have the freedom they need to keep making Flickr an even greater service and that Yahoo! don’t interfere too much and screw up the service.
