Yahoo and Flickr under fire

Filed in archive Newsdesk 2.0 by S.M. Schrama on February 02, 2007

Flickr was one of the first companies to open up a site where you upload your pictures, tag 'm and have an online gallery that can easily be shared on your website, blog or other places. Several other site followed the example, such as zoto. Flickr was bought by Yahoo last year. Yahoo is hated by a group of Flickr users because of it's commercial nature. Yahoo made sure those users hate them even more by putting a Yhaoo!Games site online about Nintendo's Wii that makes use of the Flickr tags, showing Flickr user's personal pictures.

To be honest with you, I don't see a problem. These Flickr users have no problem sharing their pictures and tagging them, but they don't like Yahoo to make use of them. Well, I believe Yahoo should have communicated the possible use of people's pictures and offer them to skip theirs, but besides that I still don't see a problem. I work on a macbook every day, knowing Apple is a commercial company. How and why should that bother me ??
