Yahoo! buys Flickr

Flickr, my favourite online photo sharing site and yours, has been acquired by Yahoo!. It looks like it’ll remain separate from Yahoo! Photos, and the changes that will be happening will be minimal and user-beneficial (like more storage/bandwidth on free and pro accounts).

Yahoo – once the pioneer – is now the great stinking corporate behemoth, buying up young, hip and trendy internet companies in its bid to keep up with The Great Google. Or something.

Walking to La Tour Eiffel
OK, so we’ve been back for 10 days or so, and the blog still hasn’t caught up with the paper diary we kept during the trip. That will change, hopefully quite soon. There has been quite a lot of catching-up to do since we got back, plus Kathy caught a flu-like bug after only two days back at work!

To whet your appetite, there are some more photos in the photo gallery.
