Cindy and I write educational content and have been working on a book/web site hybrid project. Full length projects can stretch over a year or so for me (I have a real job) and this time frame creates some problems when the field moves quickly. I was reminded of that again today when Cindy sent me this notice that Flickr was removing Picnik. I recently finished writing some content concerning the educational application of Flickr and Picasa. I did occur to me that a service available in both Flickr (Yahoo!) and Picasa Web (Google) was like a problem for Google. I first encountered Picnik associated with Flickr and then learned it had been purchased by Google.
BTW – this is also the reason “book” books make less and less sense.
