Everyone has been talking about it, Microsoft trying to buy Yahoo, and by the looks of it won't happen unless Microsoft show them the money. Yahoo has alot of services under its belt Flickr being one of them. I have a pro flicker account which I am now beginning to use to its full potential.
Over the last couple of days I was sent a link to a group created on flickr titled "MICROSOFT: KEEP YOUR EVlL GRUBBY HANDS OFF OF OUR FLICKR" now some of the photo's uploaded to the group are very good.
Make sure you check the group out.
