Flickr, for me, has certainly been one of the most significant web based tools in the last couple of years. It seems yahoo recognizes the value in flickr’s bottom up approach to functionality and use. When yahoo says things like ” and there are a lot of other areas around Yahoo that will also be Flickrized where Flickrization would be good” as opposed to yahoo’ing acquisitions, you know they’ve recognized something.
Yahoo! News - Yahoo Agrees to Buy Flickr Photo Service
I wonder, is it the community? The Bottom up meta data using ‘tags’, what some call the ‘folksonomy‘ (I love that phrase)?
Well hopefully they don’t try and start pushing users to start printing photo’s on mugs and t-shirts.
