Flickrsoft?

"Microsoft Offers $44.6B for Yahoo"

Which means, like the old poster of the ever larger fishes devouring each other, that Microsoft would end up acquiring Flickr along the way.

The funny thing is how much I think that might be the only direct impact for many LJ'ers. Yahoo has mostly let Flickr exist without meddling. Can MSFT exercise the same restraint?

Where would I be without you, Hal? I'm here at the office, and I've heard mum about this. And we should have. This brings up... issues. Then again, none of my execs are in the building this morning, which I guess should have been a sign. I thought maybe it was just because it's Friday! :-)

At any rate, thank you very much!

{softly} Aren't you already without me, Lena-love?

"At any rate, thank you very much!"

As ever, glad to have been of some help.
