The long, slow decline of Yahoo! continues. Yahoo stock continues to fall and the company is laying off employees and attempting to focus on core products.<\/p>\n

I am confused by the decision to the “down scaling” of Flickr<\/a>. This is the one Yahoo service I use and continue to pay for.

This does not matter to those collecting cell phone photos, but it matters to those of us using a DSLR.<\/p>\n

We collect photos for ourselves and for others. Photo storage of digital images is a puzzle that online companies have yet to solve. More images without a plan for the future.<\/p>\n

When one has a product doing reasonably well in a competitive market showing weakness or lack of commitment is a very bad move. With luck, perhaps Flickr will be sold to a company willing to commit to the product.<\/p>\n
