Flickr Users Not Happy About Microsoft's Offer To Yahoo
Microsoft's offer to buy Yahoo for $44.6 billion has raised a lot of eyebrows in the tech media this past few days, with many speculating on whether or not the deal will go through.
Speaking for myself, I'm hoping it doesn't for the sake of Yahoo, and it seems I'm not alone - the users of Flickr, which is owned by Yahoo, are none too happy about the offer. They've even gone so far as to create a Flickr pool full of photos that are much more "colourful" than the one shown here.
A lot of Microsoft hate over there.

Other stuff like this: Flickr, Microsoft, Yahoo!
One way or another, Microsoft will try to sell you a phone.
MS has already been using Flickr for some really cool things, like Photosynth. That's actually the coolest use I've seen on the web for creative commons photos and photo dump sites like Flickr.
I do love me some Flickr.
OK, having issues, let's try this:
