It’s becoming a lot less ridiculous to talk about a scenario where Microsoft buys a majority share of Yahoo – and then maybe they in turn make Flickr a social network – scary.

Also no one is saying that Flickr would have to be Facebook, I’d prefer if they thought outside the box a bit – the relationships are there in Flickr already, perhaps a new way to interact, some new features…

Just some thoughts.
