A couple of times each day the sun will break out of its padded cell and shine upon us Floridians. I can feel the warm rays on the back of my neck now. But then the warmth is gone replaced by the hot muggy air. There have been a couple of evenings with just jewel like sunsets. Amazing colors and a fantastic texture, something words can not describe. It’s nice to have spring around but I’d like to see the sun some more.

They have just announced that Yahoo! has acquired Flickr.

First off, congratulations to the creators, programmers, and initial supporters. It’s a big deal to be recognized in this way.

I see this move as being very beneficial to all of the Flickr users— especially the free accounts (a.k.a. me). Yes, I’m not a die hard fan, in fact I need to get around to taking pictures more often. There are, though, two things I see improving quite rapidly. Bandwidth limits should be increased. Uploads will be faster. These are just improvements I’m assuming Yahoo! would be able to manage easily.

Any features or improvements you see happening? Whats your take on the acquisition?
