"So we’re also giving our Flickr users one terabyte of space — for free."

This is incredible. I remember being blown away with the 1 GB of storage I got with my gmail account back in 2005. I couldn't even fathom needing a terabyte back then. What a fun time to be alive.

Now I can access my high res photos again. I don't know if I can trust them after the shit they pulled.

When I signed up : "You will never lose access to your high res photos".

A few years ago : "Sign up for pro if you want access to high res photos".

Is this a sign that Yahoo isn't going to keep fucking things up?

Marissa is nearing her 1 year anniversary as Yahoo CEO and it seems that she is turning the company around.

Well done with the timing of all of these announcements. Flickr is finally a modern web app.

I thought Flickr never charged for disk space... the whole premise was you could store an unlimited number of photos, they'd just make you upgrade to a "pro" account if you wanted to upload new photos beyond a limit or get photos out. How is "1TB free space" a benefit now?

1TB free space eh....

I wonder if there are any strings attached.

From the FAQ [1]:

What’s the difference between a Free, Ad Free, and Doublr account?

There are three kinds of accounts to choose from at Flickr, and all of them are awesome in their own way.

Free: 1 Terabyte of photo and video storage Upload photos of up to 200MB per photo Upload 1080p HD videos of up to 1GB each Video playback of up to 3 minutes each Upload and download in full original quality

Ad Free: $49.99 per year All the benefits of a free account No ads in your browsing experience Doublr:

$499.99 per year 2 Terabytes of photo and video space All the benefits of a free account

This is fantastic. And it's interesting to see the influences from Facebook Timeline in the design.
