Remember When Yahoo Ruled the Internet?

Flickr, which Yahoo bought in 2005, was my favorite social network when I didn’t want to deal with people. It allowed you to post your photos and a story to accompany it.

But in normal, everyday use, the camera defaults to taking 12MP photographs.

Flickr adds a virtual photography category as more games embrace photo modes

Flickr is adding a new virtual photography category to help users find and categorize images they capture in their favorite video games.
