Some time ago flickr was eaten by yahoo and (among other things) all users "were allowed to create" yahoo accounts in order to log in. I just read (here! [dutch]) that Microsoft plans to eat YAHOO. If that happens you can imagine what the consequences for flickr's services will be.

For now I joined the protest-group, but as soon as Microsoft indeed buys yahoo I will quit my account for sure. It's not that I did very much with my flickr account, but if it's infected I don't even want it to exist for a handfull of pictures.

Here at ipernity I feel much more home and I hope that in future we are NOT confronted with any take-over of ipernity by any big bad brother company...
