Caterina Fake: Flickr and Web 2.0
I met with Caterina Fake, co-founder of Flickr, at the Syndicate conference, and we video taped a lengthy interview. We’ve cut the interview into bite-sized clips, and I’ll post the entire interview later. Yahoo bought Flickr in March of this year, just about a year after the company was formed. Fake said that Yahoo hasn’t messed with Flickr’s formula, which made the photo sharing service one of the exemplary Web 2.0 companies.
- Data is users’ own
- Web 2.0 and photo sharing
- Flickr makes money for the members?
- From blogger to executive
- Freeing the API for Flickr
UPDATE: Here is the unexpurgated version of the video interview. It runs about 20 minutes.
