The internet is filled with things. Here is one of them.
The Past and Future of Flickr2024 Apr 11
Linked is an interview by This Week in Photo's Frederick Van Johnson of SmugMug/Flickr COO Ben MacAskill which is surprisingly frank and transparent, talking about the challenges that Flickr has had in the past, why SmugMug of all company's are their latest (and probably last) acquirer, some of the technical feats the team pulled off in freeing Flickr from Verizon (including datacenter specifics), and a glimpse at the fascinating factoid that SmugMug was the very first Amazon Web Services customer (back before it was even called AWS). I'm not just linking to any random Flickr videos, this one's actually good.
