Today, hot off of buying Tumblr, Yahoo rolled out a revised Flickr layout. No real functionality change, I don't think but it looks … well … more contemporary, I guess. Text plays a much smaller role (indeed, I'm not quite sure how to pull up the text in some of my sets). Maps seem to play less of a role, too, which is odd. Finally, it appears the album collections layer has vanished, which would be really irksome if true.
I'll need to poke at it later. I think it's nice that Yahoo is doing something with the site, but I'm not sure what they're doing is what I want done.
