Lämnar Yahoo och Oath
I helgen meddelade fototjänsten Flickr att man hade blivit uppköpta av företaget som driver fototjänsten SmugMug. Vad som skulle hända med Flickr har länge varit osäkert efter det att Verizon skapade det gemensamma bolaget Oath av Flickrs ägare Yahoo samt internetföretaget AOL. SmugMug som nu har köpt upp Flickr är en betydligt mycket mindre tjänst än Flickr. SmugMugs VD Don MacAskill säger till USA Today: "Flickr is an amazing community, full of some of the world's most passionate photographers. It’s a fantastic product and a beloved brand, supplying tens of billions of photos to hundreds of millions of people around the world. Flickr has survived through thick-and-thin and is core to the entire fabric of the Internet." SmugMug planerar initialt inte att slå samman de båda tjänsterna utan Flickr kommer fortsatt att vara en egen plattform. Vad SmugMug, ett företag som grundades 2002, betalade för Flickr finns det inga uppgifter om. Flickr startade 2004 och köptes 2005 upp av Yahoo för 35 miljoner dollar.

Flickrs meddelande om uppköp
We’re excited to announce that Flickr has agreed to be acquired by SmugMug, the photography platform dedicated to visual storytellers.
SmugMug has a long history of empowering people who love photography and who want to improve their craft, making them a perfect fit for Flickr and our creative community. With SmugMug, we’ll continue to focus on you, the Flickr members who inspire us all with your work.
Nothing will change immediately with regard to your Flickr account. You will still access Flickr with your current login credentials and you will have the same Flickr experience as you do now. We will continue to work to make your Flickr experience even better.
We think you are going to love Flickr under SmugMug ownership, but you can choose to not have your Flickr account and data transferred to SmugMug until May 25, 2018. If you want to keep your Flickr account and data from being transferred, you must go to your Flickr account to download the photos and videos you want to keep, then delete your account from your Account Settings by May 25, 2018.
If you do not delete your account by May 25, 2018, your Flickr account and data will transfer to SmugMug and will be governed by SmugMug’s Terms and Privacy Policy.

We’re happy that Flickr is your home for photography and we look forward to the next chapter in our adventure together as we join the SmugMug family.
