Cause for concern

It will probably come as no surprise to anyone that I’m a big fan of Flickr. The service they provide, combined with a clean interface and simple to use tools make it a must for everyone interested in photography.

So when it was announced yesterday that micro$oft is bidding on Flickr’s owner Yahoo, it makes me a bit concerned. And it seems I’m not the only one. Maybe it’s a bit premature to make assumptions and we’ve got nothing to worry about, but the thought of the Redmond giant being the official host of my online photo collection makes me start reconsidering the options.

And looking around, there are plenty of options. Back in early December 2007 Photography Bay ran an interesting and thorough story called 7 Alternatives to Flickr which seems a good idea to take a closer look at again. Just in case.

Hi and welcome to my online bricolage. Here I’ll go on about anything from music to software and photography. It is essentially an online addition of sorts to my own personal diary.
