DISQUS

Life is grand: Yahoo! acquires Flickr, again!

  • Shog9 · 2 years ago
    Yes! Eight years of sitting on my preferred username on Yahoo! finally pays off, by allowing me to continue using the same login name for Flickr...
    ...of course, i barely use Flickr anymore since my camera broke...
    ...but this is really gonna put a smile on my face eight years from now, when Flickr merges with Y!TubeSpaces.

    LOL

    Why not tube spaces... Y!TubeSpaces.... subliminal messaging there.

    Heh, good catch.

    Yeah I have exactly the same problem, except I couldn't even get through to someone at Yahoo and flickr tech support said it wasn't their problem. The problem is that I've already associated my flickr account with that Yahoo account, so I can't get on flick!!

    That is exactly what I was fearing, Matt. That once merged login problems stop being Flickr's problem and become Yahoo!s who are less responsive and friendly.

    I had to phone Yahoo! in the States from South Africa to get an email exchange going. This was a year or so ago.
