Dear Flickr friends,
Yesterday, we recapped Flickr’s many accomplishments in 2019. We’re proud of the year’s successes, but we’re particularly excited for what lies ahead in 2020. Now that our system migration is truly behind us, we can focus even more of our efforts on making Flickr the best place for photographers to share and connect.
When our Chief Geek and CEO, Don MacAskill, reached out in December, there was an outpouring of support, an impressive number of new Pro members ready to stand behind their passion for this product we all love, and a staggering amount of valuable feedback for which we’re incredibly grateful. Added to the input you’ve shared with our team over the last year and a half since we joined SmugMug, we certainly feel we’ve heard your priorities:
You’ve told us that Flickr is about discovery, not popularity; it’s about permanence, not the ephemeral; and it’s about community, not influence. Put simply, Flickr is about photography, not photos — so that’s where we’ll focus in 2020 and beyond.
