It must be a very hard decision : accept 40 M$ or keep growing very personal work.

It sounds agonizing.

Well I genuinely think that it must be a difficult decision to leave years of personal work behind, the decision making on your own project and the potential of an higher bid. But that's just my personal perspective, a more rational point of view is of course obvious.

In my opinion the aquisition didn't benefit the Flickr project very much (for the users), I have the feeling that it is stagnating right now.

Serious question: If it's stagnating, what needs improving?

Bigger photos for one. It's painful to look at photos in the current fixed format. Have you seen the size of monitors today?

In general I also find the management interface a bit awkward. Perhaps a few weekend of kill a feature are needed. I think they've tried to be all things to a rather diverse user group and have suffered b/c of it.

It's still fantastic though!

What features would you keep in the management interface?
