Friends who often use online image beds know that Flickr is a very large space, and it also allows photography players to place high-quality photos for display on the Internet service. Flickr, which came out in 2004, was not actually a service of Yahoo. It was launched the following year. He only joined the Yahoo family in 2005. However, as Yahoo was officially sold to Verizon and the company name changed to Oath, Flickr is a company that makes everyone curious whether it will join Verizon in the end or be sold by the current Oath. And recently Foreign media also disclosed the news that Flickr was officially traded. The buyer happened to be an online photo space service provider called SmugMug. Although this company may not be so familiar in Taiwan and the photo space does not have a Chinese interface, it is the same as Flickr. A long-established image bed service provider that also specializes in unlimited use of space. Now that two image bed service companies have merged, it will have more powerful resources to provide users with Flickr:

The author has a deep understanding of Flickr. I have managed my own photos through Flickr in the past, and also used Flickr to manage my photos. Flickr's external connection function uses the image space as a blog. The unlimited space created by Flickr at the beginning was particularly attractive, so it became the image bed space recommended by many netizens. For a while, in addition to the very popular "frog" Imagechack , Flickr is the most famous. However, due to the poor space stability of Imagechack, Flickr has gradually become a mainstream image platform. Whether it is unboxing articles or online photos, a large part of the image sources come from Flickr. But Flickr is not all free to use. There was a free upload limit at the beginning, and a policy of deleting photos if you have not logged in for more than 90 days. It later evolved into a practice where free users enjoy 1TB of space, and Flickr did not open it until 2007. After adding Chinese interface, the friendliness to Chinese users will increase a lot. After Flickr opened its own API, many programmers have created various Flickr tools. In the past, "Computer King Ada" I have introduced the Flickr Downloader batch downloader tool (see the article here).

SmugMug, which accepts Flickr, is also an online image bed service company. To put it simply, , not only is it a peer of Flickr, but there are many similarities between the two services. It also has a number of users in Taiwan, but its popularity is far less than that of famous image sharing services such as Flickr and Imgur. On the one hand, it may be Google Picasa, Image platforms such as Google+ Photo, Flickr, and Imgur are highly accepted in Taiwan and are quite familiar in operation. On the other hand, it currently only has an English interface, which is a big problem. Will the merged Flickr take advantage of localizing the language? It’s really exciting to leave it to its own devices.
