Hosted Flickr photos, was put up for sale by Yahoo. Continue to search for a buyer. So far, the interest showed only about 40 companies.
Yahoo has long had problems with various divisions in its empire.. The last information received speaks of another restructuring and a desire to sell a platform for photographers – Flickr. Now we know why. Flickr стал объектом для продажи, because Yahoo wants to soon get rid of it.
Interested in buying many Flickr, among them Microsoft, Time, Verizon. This is not surprising when you consider the potential Flickr photo service and its reputation. true, хостинг не является гигантом, if we are talking about the number of active users, like for example at Instagram, but its users are narrower, target group.
About 112 million active users of the platform, it's not the worst performance. Flickr is not the place, where large quantities are stored photos. На бесплатном аккаунте пользователь имеет всего до 1 TB to store photos.
When there is a potential buyer, users will need to ask yourself, not so much, how many will work on the deal, Yahoo, а какие будут инвестиционные планы покупателя в отношении Flickr. experience shows, that spoil even the most remarkable project is not difficult, поэтому стоит лишь надеяться на разумные решения и стратегию развития будущего владельца Flickr.
It also became known that the sale of Flickr is to occur this spring, since only in this case, the Board of Directors and CEO Marissa Mayer will be able to extend the credibility Yahoo shareholders. If the sales plan will fail, probably Yahoo get a new top executive, and then the fate of Yahoo, not just Flickr, there can be unpredictable for all manner.
