Flickr from Yahoo! and they Want You to Know It

by Aaron on September 23, 2009

While searching Flickr tonight I noticed something that caught my eye:

Flickr from Yahoo

That little “from Yahoo!” is new. Even though Yahoo acquired Flickr over four years ago, the Flickr logo had remained un-Yahooed until now.

What does it mean? Probably nothing too significant, other than to remind users that Flickr is the largest remaining Yahoo property that hasn’t yet tanked or lost market share in any big way.

For more thoughts on the logo change, view a Twitter search… at the time of this post it seems that most folks aren’t happy.
