Bangalore: Yahoo! seems to be in full swing lately. Yesterday the head lines around the world were loud about its $1.1 billion acquisition of Tumblr, and now it’s all about a re-imagined Flickr, which offers a new experience and 1 tera byte of photo storage to the users, which roughly transforms to a whopping 500,000 images at a resolution common to most Smartphones, reports Economic Times.  

Flickr, the photo blog, which was developed in 2004 by Ludicorp, a Vancouver-based company,  was acquired by Yahoo! for a reported $35 million in March 2005. In December 2006, upload limits on free accounts were increased to 100 MB a month (from 20 MB) and were removed from Pro Accounts, permitting unlimited uploads for holders of these accounts (originally a 2 GB per month limit). But lately, the site caught dust as fever users signed up for it and existing users seldom visited the site.
