The point of the first heading " Flickr was acquired by Yahoo in March ‘05 for $35M" - was to show that Flickr has been a failure ever since Yahoo bought it.
Given the recent reboot and redesign, I doubt that will continue to be the case - hence my statement.
If Marissa Mayer keeps going like how she is, I suspect that this post will be fully invalid in 5 years.
We would very well be witnessing the 2nd greatest tech turnaround after Apple - with Mayer.
