**reynold** · 03-21-2005, 01:54 AM

Pretty much I guess.

**BRISK** · 03-21-2005, 02:02 AM

flickr.com was registered exactly 1 year and 4 months ago

and today they sell out to Yahoo for probably at least $10 million

Google has blogger/blogspot

Yahoo has yahoo 360

Blogs = tons of pages = tons of possible places to put their network ads. example: blogger offering Google ad sense ads to their network members.

Plus Yahoo is launching their own adsense soon, their beta version of this is already available on some sites

Yahoo is indeed ready for war

I'd like to know too

I said at least $10 million before, but it likely went for much more than that, but if they're not going to disclose the terms of the deal, then it's anyones guess.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was over $100 million.

I really have no clue, they had a large userbase for sure (over 250K last year) so an amount like $100 million isn't crazy. Especially when you consider that Yahoo has like thousands of clients for their blogservice right away.
