Yahoo Acquires Flickr

Yahoo Acquires Flickr

2005

In 2005, Yahoo acquired Flickr, a popular photo-sharing website, for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition marked Yahoo's entry into the burgeoning social networking and user-generated content space. Flickr allowed users to upload, organize, and share photos and connect with other photographers and photo enthusiasts. Under Yahoo's ownership, Flickr continued to grow and innovate, introducing new features such as tags and photo geolocation. However, Yahoo's failure to invest in Flickr and keep up with the competition from newer social media platforms eventually led to its decline. In 2018, Flickr was acquired by SmugMug, a photography platform, and has since undergone a revival.
