Looks like they wanna start their blogging service (Yahoo 360 went into beta last week) off good. Yahoo bought Flickr.com... full story:

I wonder how much $$$$ they got?

Pretty much I guess.

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

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

Niiiiiiiice!

yeh not a bad idea of the people behind Flickr.com

Man, I could see that payout coming the first time I saw flickR. Good for them..

Yahoo is ready for war

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.

they probably got a pretty penny for it, good on them, I just wish it was me :winkwink:

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 :2 cents:

does anyone know what figure it went for?

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.
