This is Yahoo, I can't imagine that Flikr is making them a shed load of money at the moment even though it is the largest online photo community. The recent change to the site has seen it move toward a social network site . The "beta" trila seems to be trialing an app for Pads. I imagine Yahoo want to make money out of Flikr or they will just drop it. It is now up against some stiff competition.Look at the way Google has now combined G mail with an online messenger, with a social network with a photo hosting site. Microsoft have done the same. Both of these companies have smart phones for their software (Android and MS). Yahoo has nothing. If it wasn't for the tie up with BT I doubt Yahoo would even survive in the UK. I have BT and do not use Yahoo at all other than Flikr.These companies want to take on and compete with Facebook, hosting photos on a stand alone site to feed photos back into Facebook and online forums is not where they want to be any longer. Flikr nearly went belly up a couple of years back.
