The most important challenge that Flickr is facing is its identity . Six or seven geezerhood ago , it did everything in photos , now it ’s the leader in nothing . What is its key competitive reward ? That ’s the first thing we have to regain out .
There ’s no deny Flickr was in some reasonably dire sound before — no one would have been surprised to see it melt from macrocosm wholly . But somehow , Marissa Meyer managed to get the right team together andpull Flickr out of the depthsof obsolescence just in the nick of time . Now they just demand to image out what to dowith their reinvigorated property . Hernandez emphasizes :

We all have a pretty clear video of how we use pic in Instagram , Facebook , Google+ , etc . I require to do the same with Flickr … Mobile will be the key component . Nothing you do with photos today can ignore mobile
When you believe caring out a niche in a marketed that ’s already so over - saturate with photo services , apps , filter , curators , composers , cloud storers , what have you — it starts to seem like an impossible task . And hopefully , they ’ve got the right multitude on the job . At least , Hernandez seems to think so :
I think Marissa is doing a great job . She ’s starting to revitalize Yahoo in the position I cogitate you always needs it most : talent . Her goal with Yahoo is to serve people refocus their casual routines . I recollect that objective was lost in the last few years and now it needs to be recovered .
Only time will state if the new and improved Yahoo can manage to recreate even a modicum of what they had in their aureole solar day . But for now , you could read the rest of what Bernardo Hernandez had to say about his move to Flickr over atGizmodo en Español .
