Since a recent “upgrade” a couple weeks ago, flickr has been running very poorly. I see in the activity bar on my web browser that flickr is now partially serving images using yahoo image servers. Today they had image cache problems.

When I first joined flickr last year it ran flawlessly. No longer the case.

I hope Yahoo gets this sorted out. They are ruining their acquisition, and people will go elsewhere. For a prosumer site, that is the kiss of death. With the photographers go the photos, and without photos, flickr is nothing but an empty CMS.
