The Yahoo!ification of Flickr has begun – Their funny, welcoming, and insanely easy sign-up page has been replaced by a Yahoo! Network monstrosity that collects demographic data, has evil terms of use, and tries to sign you up for various stupid Yahoo! services that you don’t want. This is not a good sign for the future of Flickr.
Aside
Could be worse. They could make you give them your cell phone number ala Gmail.
