Socratic Monologue
Yahoo to acquire Flickr
According to post on the FlickrBlog, Yahoo will be acquiring Flickr. This fits nicely with Yahoo’s forthcoming Yahoo 360 blog/photo sharing/messaging service. I can only hope that they do better than MSN’s blogging service (so unmemorable that I’ve already forgotten the name).
This does, however, seem to put an end to my dream of having Picasa being able to load directly to my Flickr account (or do you know of any clever hacks to make this work?).
Your thoughtful responses
Me tweeting
- My grade 9 students are learning/practicing photographic composition. See their work at http://t.co/c2lkNTDv
- @shareski I think you owe him for all the pictures of his kids you put in them.
- @shareski I thought design mattered.
- @cptteacher Thanks for your comments back to the students. They will be happily surprised to be getting comments from outside school.
- @pstratton08 Exactly my thoughts. And I think that knowing your work is going to be on display encourages students to find good photos.
