2nd Intro Post/Blog Ref Post: Flickr's future

I will be one of the Product experts, focusing on chapters 9 and 10 for both my class presentation, as well as several of my blog entries. Also, as a member of the Dell team, I will again be focusing on product. To keep my second post more interesting, here is some information about Flickr, one of the sites that can be found on our class blog.

Apparently Flickr, the online photo sharing site run by Yahoo, is changing the classification of photos to "all rights reserved." Since we all found out about this site in class, I thought it was an interesting and pertenant discussion that was featured on Stephen Baker's Blog on BusinessWeek.com entitled Is Flickr Departing the Blog Realm? He mentions that anyone with an Adsense account, among others, would be affected by the change. Since I am not too familiar with Flickr (though I have set up an account since the start of this class), and this blog seems to be the perfect format for discussion, I thought I would throw a question out there to the class: Would this change affect my or anyone in the class's ability to put photos on their blogs?

it seems this 'change' has potential to effect your use of FlickR in terms of blogging photos on FlickR other than the ones you download to FlickR (and if you use an adsense program which deems your blog a profit-making enterprise ... which is a huge stretch for many of us who have used adsense).

this does not effect your use of FlickR to blog your own pics. you download to FlickR I think.
