Yahoo's reported merger/takeover talks with MS means it's open (!) to selling its independence to the highest bidder. That it's MS they're talking with just emphasises my original stupidity and short-sightedness. I should have been more savvy to the long-term threat of something like this, especially before parting with cash.
But now I've got to start looking at the alternatives on offer to the various services of theirs that I've used. I'm mainly looking for an alternative to Flickr!, though a list of alternatives to all their offerings would be helpful for trying something new and for when I come across people who are also facing the threat of having the rug pulled from beneath them. This would also be handy to distribute if or when the deal goes through. Anyone use/recommend free alternatives? I'm about to start the process of researching this, but anyone's knowledge and experiences would be a big help. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
