Flickr still communicating great 2
You wouldn’t know that they have just been bought up by Yahoo from this email I just received:
The Flickr team has up and moved this week to Californ-i-a and has been singing Beach Boys songs non-stop since arrival. And you’re moving too!
We’re moving each and every pixel, bit, and byte, all your data, lock, stock, and barrel, from our humble server shack in Canada to our new server palace in the U.S. of A!
This process will begin during the week of June 28 and will result in speediness, stableness, and happiness. For more information, please visit the FAQ about the data center move. http://www.flickr.com/help.gne#94
Thank you, Flickreebies, for making Flickr such a wonderful place to share, connect, and befriend. We love you! (In an entirely non-creepy way.)

Good on them for keeping it this way. I can’t stand dealing with all these impersonal companies. Besides having a super service I really believe their personal approach has helped them reach the success they have today.

I agree completely. I was talking about this with someone the other day. We decided that it’s only because it’s a consumer service, helping people enjoy their hobby, that they can take that approach. For a more business-like service, I’m not sure it would work. I don’t want to sound negative though – I love Flickr!
As a proud canadian I just had a couple problems with that email but I understand they are excited and all :-).
