Why do I feel like this is the litmus test for someone to see if they want to save Flickr?

Flickr is the only part of Yahoo that is worth anything. The question is how much.

I think the idea that flickr is worth anything is still in question.

I find flickr with Creative Commons search incredibly valuable.

> Yahoo finance and Fantasy and Sports are MUCH bigger then Flickr.

How did Tumblr kill DA? They're incredibly different, though used mostly by the same demographic.
