Yahoo! Updates

If that happens, I'd goodbye to Google.

That would be a big facepalm moment. Google+'s Handling of photos is really awesome. I tried uploading some 300+ pics and they all look beautiful now. Flickr really needs a magic wand if it wants to stay in the game. And copying G+ would be like :russianroulette:

Flickr still retains the advantage of a pretty awesome unlimited storage package. 500px has a cheaper plan but it is very different in nature.
But Yahoo probably take Google+ as a serious threat to their Flickr business. Loads of pro photographers are dumping Flickr.

Why shouldn't they now? Google+'s Auto Awesome and Auto Enhance Features can save so many man hours for them.

Is this event related to Jolla by any means?.

LOL @ JOLLA

Little known fact. Flickr actually already perform some enhancements on the photos that are shown to the end user.

Wall Street Journal does not get it wrong.

Still it doesn't say whether Tumblr has accepted it or not. That remains to be seen. Though its an offer too hard to resist.

I imagine Yahoo Board only got involved once Yahoo and Tumblr settled on a figure. So, I am guessing the deal is more or less done and should be announced tomorrow.
