Flickr was acquired for $15M in cash and $10M in Yahoo stock. I’m tired of the media quoting $30M-$40M.

Flicr is a temporary success, because the service is so simple to copy or integrate to own platform. They easy can lost all users at once. To risky to pay for it.

What is Flickr worth? Whatever somebody is willing to pay for it obviously if it was sold tomorrow! The best point I've heard so far is that Flickr is part of a larger coporate entity that ties in with their overall marketing mix. As a Pro member I would like to see Flickr offer click through revenue generating capability for it's Pro users if advertising were to come to Flickr. The content side of Flickr is gold and the ability to organise large collections efficiently is a godsend to any photographer generating a lot of content. I used to work for a large online publishing/legal publishing company who were trying to figure out how to moneterize their content too. Believe me that doesn't happen overnight.

[...] Mark Evans a d’ailleurs calculé que flickr pourrait valoir quelques milliards de dollars actuellement compte tenu du trafic et du cash généré par les utilisateurs payants.
