I have been looking at the "Microsoft, keep your grubby hands off of Flickr" pool and in reading some of the comments and tone of the images, it’s clear the users want Google to come in and buy Yahoo to save Flickr. The question I have is:
Isn’t Google as likely to convert Flickr to Picasa web albums as Microsoft is to convert it to Live Galleries?
I may be way off, but Google is in it to win it too, they aren’t going to buy up Yahoo, keep flickr and kill their own product they obviously believe in.
I love flickr, but I think the odds are it’s going to go one way or the other. I just home it "goes" in a migration and get’s integrated in to a product at Microsoft instead of jettisoned.
