Re: Flickr gets new UI, new Android app, 1 TB free space
#122This is pretty interesting to me as I've been spending the last month preparing my soon-to-be startup; (hopefully) a competitor to Flickr/500px: https://photographer.io Obviously I can't compete with that free space which they're giving out. Instead I'm going to stick to a lesser free plan and a sensible subscription price, and hope that people realise that I actually aim to make a profitable business out of it and s…
I'm 2 years into a photo service and disk space has never been the determining cost factor. Space is only used to get users to upgrade to a paying account. I don't downplay the importance of that though, it's critical to figure out how you're going to make money today and not once you have a few million users. In Yahoo!'s case it's about getting more engagement and users.
I'm hoping to offer a bunch of features other than unlimited photo uploads to entice users into subscriptions. More features, such as being able to share private collections (albums/sets) with others, or increased control over what they see on the site.
I'm looking to launch it proper in the next couple of weeks once I have the TOS finalised and the company set up. And I'm always open to any suggestions users have for features they'd like to see :)

#123So far, the response from Flickr power users looks overwhelmingly negative: http://www.flickr.com/help/forum/en-us/72157633547442506/
As a sporadic user for 8 years, I like it. There will always be complainers.

#124Marissa is nearing her 1 year anniversary as Yahoo CEO and it seems that she is turning the company around.
The stock price is up, I'll give you that, but in terms of actual user/profit/revenue growth what are the numbers to suggest that she is turning the company around? Flashy product acquisitions and page redesigns a turnaround o not make. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just interested in seeing the hard numbers.
I'm thinking she's not as concerned about that yet. Her first step seems to be making Yahoo and it's brands "cool" again.

#125This is great for the so-called "photo-enthusiasts." I'll probably sign up on that basis. But I'm not sure I understand the mobile play. Most of my mobile photos are horrid quality and when I take a photo with my phone 100% of the time it is with the intent to share with others, either via SMS or Facebook or Twitter. I would be happy to share on Flickr. There's only one problem. That of course is that none of my frie…
They could work like Google+ which automatically backs up your photos.
So everything you share could be safer at flickr vs spread out among 100 services

#1261TB isn't that impressive when you have to deal with a 300MB/month upload rate limit: http://www.flickr.com/help/limits/ It'd take 291 years to fill up the 1TB allowance: https://www.google.com/search?q=1TB+%2F+(300+MB%2Fmonth) (Also looks like there's a missing on that limits page, there.) Edit: Looks like the page is being edited right this moment - the page used to list the 300MB/month limit but was also mentionin…
As per the new plans, there is no 300MB/month upload-limits on free-accounts.( please don't see Google search results, was that cached? ) Here are their newer plans -- Free-Accounts: + 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 accounts: (older…
The Doublr plan is a strange offer. Wonder if there's a miscommunication on that.

#1271 TB is a lot of space for free-accounts, very generous move!
So, will they get more traffic now?

So 1 TB is free, but an extra 1 TB is $500/yr?! I'm not sure I understand that.
On another note, I (surprisingly) like how the disemvoweling is becoming synonymous with the Yahoo brand (with Tumblr now as well). What seemed stale is starting to seem fresh again. Playful, almost, like a wink to Web 2.0 -- though I imagine it could be perceived as being out of touch too, if they don't play it right.

I did not find it strange.
You get 1TB extra i.e total 2 TB + no ads.
Some interesting observations -- the cost of Free account for Yahoo is -- 450$ per free-user/year.
So, lets be prepared to get ads all around. :)

#130Does anybody find the ad free account attractive?
I don't.
