Comment The ruins of the old Internet (Score 1) 427

I saved a list of all neighborhoods , I'm really saddened by the decisions, because I think fondly of those sites. I know for a fact a lot of dead people left pages there, I remember a deceased five year old little girl that was fan of sailor moon. Romanticizing, I think of it like tearing apart the ruins of an old city because it's not worth the cost of maintenance.

Submission + - Why Microsoft's Flickr Competitor Will Fail (cooltechzone.com)

An anonymous reader writes: Microsoft is working on a Flickr competitor ofy its own, but it has no chance of succeeding. "Sure, a better UI could be in store, maybe gigabytes worth of storage at no cost, a few additional features for professional photographers and so forth and so on. If you think none of this sounds exciting, you would be right. It doesn't. And it isn't. What's to stop Flickr from not redesigning their layout or letting go of the subscriber model if they sense a considerable threat from Microsoft. Yahoo knows it needs to protect Flickr's dominant market share, and they will do just that. Despite Microsoft's buying (i.e., marketing) power, I doubt Microsoft would attract a lot of attention. The company just can't pull it off.
