Yahoo acquires Flickr
The Flickr blog just announced that Yahoo! has finally acquired Flickr. While Flickr is the only really useful photo sharing website on the net, it might be good to finally have a major player behind this. Let’s just hope that big Y does not cripple the platform as it did with it’s on groups before. It will also be interesting to see if and how Flickr will be integrated in Yahoo’s soon to be launched Blog Platform. The event is also discussed at Flickr Central.

What was the price tag? Web 2.0 sites are selling at insane prices these days. I think the Yahoo/Flickr deal was one of the first.
