Flickr is not just heating up any more, but totally on fire. Accordingly, buyout rumours are making the rounds in the blogosphere. Is there any truth to these rumors? This business2.com article reports:

Google (GOOG) and Yahoo (YHOO) want to buy it outright, while venture capital firms are flooding it with all kinds of creative proposals. “We get four or five calls a week from VCs,” says Stewart Butterfield, who co-founded Flickr with his wife, Caterina Fake.

I reviewed Flickr back in July 2004 and thought: now this is one use for Flash that actually makes sense. Kudos to Butterfield and his wife and of course Flickr!

Did this post make you go hmm?
