Comments on: Flickr Users Revolting Against Yahoo Branding .. Again http://www.searchenginejournal.com/flickr-yahoo/13566/ Tue, 14 Feb 2012 03:49:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: GIno De Young http://www.searchenginejournal.com/flickr-yahoo/13566/comment-page-1/#comment-1124400 GIno De Young Sat, 10 Oct 2009 01:10:30 +0000 http://www.searchenginejournal.com/?p=13566#comment-1124400 Just now, I learned that I am revolting! I think Yahoo should study the reaction to this appendage carefully. When I mention use the Yahoo home page, my friends ask me why - I find I can no longer justify using it. It offers nothing that is best-of-breed, except Flickr, and I love Flickr despite Yahoo, rather than because of Yahoo. The Yahoo brand is dead, they should be strengthening a number of offshoot brands for the company to evolve into. Just now, I learned that I am revolting!

I'm about to go delete everything I've ever posted to Flickr now that Yahoo has continued to demonstrate disregard for its paid users. Yahoo can choke on their "Web 2.0."

Yahoo owns flicker, great, BRAND it. However they could listen to their customers. Web 2.0 is about engagement. Yahoo should engage "hard core fans" in the process. Make it a little more subtle to start off with and gradually make it more prominent. Or better yet a contest that users generate and vote on the logo. I have to agree with John. Purple? Really?

They've even created a community around the people who are revolting. DAVID: True that it is a free service, but I paid to upgrade, as did a lot of the people who seem to be revolting. If you use the service a lot, the paid upgrade actually has some nice features. It’s funny. They’ve even created a community around the people who are revolting.

However, I do think the purple logo next to the Flickr logo looks like ass. I think their Web designers must be color blind or the Yahoo! branding police threatened their lives.
