Yahoo has practiced benign neglect with Flickr for … well, a loooooong time. Long enough that some folks were getting worried that the site was going to get dropped or otherwise die. Which would be pretty bad, since I keep all my pictures there (well, there and on my hard drive, but …)<\/p>\n

Today, hot off of buying Tumblr, Yahoo rolled out a revised Flickr layout. \u00a0No real functionality change, I don't think but it looks … well … more contemporary, I guess. \u00a0Text 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<\/s> collections<\/i> layer has vanished, which would be really<\/i> irksome if true.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
