USA Today broke the news and talked with SmugMug CEO Don MacAskill, who said he would like to renew Flickr .
In the meantime, he said he's as yet making sense of his genuine plans: "It sounds senseless for the CEO to not to absolutely recognize what he will do, however we haven't manufactured SmugMug on an all-inclusive strategy either. We endeavor to tune in to our clients and when enough of them request something that is essential to them or to the group, we go and manufacture it."
Flickr was established in 2004 and sold to Yahoo a year later. Yippee, thus, was procured by Verizon, which united it with AOL to make another auxiliary called Oath.
Over the recent months, Oath (which claims TechCrunch) has been auctioning off some of its AOL and Yahoo properties, including Moviefone (sold to the organization behind MoviePass, which Oath now has a stake in) and Polyvore (resources sold to Ssense).

The organization additionally utilizes the FAQ to portray its vision for the joined administrations:
SmugMug and Flickr speak to the world's most powerful group of picture takers, and there is quality in numbers.
