So when will Flickr be releasing a working mobile app?
Good to see that there is real structural change afoot at Yahoo.
I find it completely hilarious that Marissa is not dogfooding. I know that someone else said this earlier in the thread, but why is this on Instagram and not flickr? Come on, at least use your own damn product. The correct answer to the objection of "but Instagram is better right now" is "I'm going to revitalize this product by using it for my own photos and commentary, even if it sucks right now." You don't want the…

Instagram is much more focused on sharing. Flickr is focused on storage. I'd argue a better competitor to flickr would be facebook's photo app.
and here is the opposite effect, the new windows 8 logo: http://i50.tinypic.com/15oidfb.jpg A clean, simple, elegant logo, completely ruined by the honking TM and (R) injected by the lawyers. The bizarre presence of two separate legalese-related sigils on a single logo makes it impossible to miss. Also makes it clear who is running the place.
I think TM is what you put prior to the mark being approved as a registered trademark by the USPTO. (It's analogous to "US Patent Pending" but for trademarks.) So eventually there will be two (R) on that logo. Maybe Microsoft could make the whole logo out of (R) symbols. Then the ones inserted by the lawyers will fit in.

I'm not sure how much competition they really are. Instagram is much more focused on sharing . Flickr is focused on storage . I'd argue a better competitor to flickr would be facebook's photo app.

you never "photoshop" a picture, right? -- I have to imagine there is an endless struggle between marketing and legal on these types of things
IIRC there was actually some talk of Adobe legal stepping in to stop the use of the term "photoshop" for editing an image. For obvious reason it went no-where.
