Has Flikr F***-ed Up?
Posted by Stowe Boyd
Over at Infectious Greed, there is an analysis (and rebuttal) of the theory that Flickr F***-ed Up:
Paul Kedrosky
My working title was "Flickr F***-ed Up", and it was a tongue-in-cheek look at all the things that Flickr had "screwed up", at least according to conventional wisdom in VC and punditry circles:
1. It got attractive early buyout offers and didn't take them
2. It got term sheets offers from marquee VCs and didn't take them
3. It has a husband-and-wife founder team
4. It is run by technologists
Kedrosky goes on to suggest that Flikr has fucked-up (oh come on and say it) just enough to remain distinct and independent, and to rack up hundreds of thousands of users. Still an upside to Flikr, no matter what
Om Malik has suggested.
