Yahoo! acquires Flickr (official)

Filed under: Web 2.0 — Dick Hardt @ 3:50 pm

I’m sitting here @ PC Forum 2005 and happy to hear Jerry Yang announce Yahoo! has acquired Flickr. (I knew this was going to happen which is I am likely one of the first posts :)

As the first outside investor and previous board member, this is pretty exciting! This was my first large angel investment, and I in some ways I feel like the newbie gambler that has a big win with the first roulette bet. In other ways, I am now wary of making any other investments as I don’t know what the formula was for success.

I am really proud and happy for Stewart, Caterina and the rest of the small, hardworking Flickr gang. They have learned alot in the last while and plowed through many challenges. I will continue to watch to see the cool things they release now.
