Microsoft bidding for Yahoo! ?

Well then, I'm outta here! Looks like I'm moving all my stuff over to Google and Picasa!

F.U., Microsoft!

To take full advantage of Flickr, you should use a JavaScript-enabled browser and
install the latest version of the Macromedia Flash Player.

Perhaps if Google was dragged into court and convicted as many times as Microsoft has, I'd feel the same way you do. But, I don't.

Seriously? Based on a proposal...? Even though Flickr is the leader in this space... what a sad way to live your life!

Let's just say, if Microsoft purchases Yahoo!, I will not be using these services any longer. Trusting Micosoft with your data is not a smart thing to do. And THAT's no way to live your life.

I agree, and thanks for the ipernity link. I too will move if M$ buys Yahoo. only IF, just because M$ wants yahoo is no reason to leave Yahoo.

I don't know - what if it were Google buying Yahoo? And what about a few years back when Yahoo bought Flickr? If Microsoft maintains CC-licenses, I don't worry too much about it.

Dropping by via BoingBoing

Well that's BAD news :( I don't want Microsoft to have a control over web services, they don't seem to handle them well. Look at MSN search and compare it to Google. The answer is so damn obvious.

Oh and anyway I would definitely not want Microsoft to implement to VALIDATE YOUR WINDOWS TO LOG IN TO FLICKR that kind of idiotic move, like what they've done to computers >< bad bad bad.

And boy, would I ever feel stupid now if I were! ;-)

Maybe if Yahoo! somehow avoids/rejects this hostile takeover offer of Microshaft's, it will inspire me to give Yahoo! some finanical support, as well as my searching, e-mailing, IM, and photo-sharing support.

Just finished setting up an account at IPERNITY ( www.ipernity.com ) and have to admit, I'm quite impressed so far.

There's quite a bit more you can do there than you can do here.

Thanks for the suggestion, Don!

Yeah, I wasn't too excited when I heard about MS's interest in Yahoo!
I will stick with Flickr though, as I get free Pro service with my ISP provider, and I have business ties with Yahoo! services.

JeffJohn; I don't think it's a sad way to life your life. Not many people take that much account for their principles. For example, I'm sure there's many people out there that think child sweat-shop jobs are wrong, yet will shop at a dollar store or an "economically sound" department store.

jeffjohn says:

der3lict; Sorry for the delay on responding, my point was that he is quitting on a proposal. The notion of not buying due to principles is sound. I was questioning the fact it is merely a proposal. If the merger had taken place I would understand the notion.
If I tell you that the dollar store was proposing to no longer purchase from sweat-shops, would you start shopping there again?
That's my point. Flickr is great why abandon it on a proposal?
