Final Giveaway Recap
Oh Flickr… you spoiled the fun
Or also known as “The Flickr Upset”
Back on May 3rd [yes, over a month ago] I announced the final giveaway for this blog’s 5th blogiversary. The contest ended on May 20th [at which time I disabled comments] and I’m just now announcing the winner.
And the winner is: Poppy
Not So Fast…
But given the final prize is a year of Flickr Pro, this puts a wrench into this mix, given Flickr’s announcement on May 20th [Oh, the timing of it all] and their discontinuation of Pro accounts.
If Poppy [or Dawg as she eluded to giving the prize to in her comment] already has a Flickr Pro account, they can keep renewing it, which I will work out the prize to them in order to extend their Pro status.
If that is not the case, then I will let Poppy decide how she wants her prize [worth $25, since that’s what a year of Flickr Pro used to be/still is].
Cooled Off
What was supposed to have been an exciting final prize ended up getting trumped by Yahoo! and their upgrade. Granted, this is good for non-Flickr Pro users, who now get a lot more storage space – 1 terabyte – and increased upload sizes.
Read more here about the changes that Flickr made, including how current Pro users are affected.
Now I really have to top myself for the 6th anniversary next year.

Yay for Poppy winning! Even if Flickr did throw a wrench into the whole thing.
Yes, it was a wrench, but we found a way to make it work.
I was wondering how you were going to handle this.
Yeah, it weighed heavy in mind when Flickr made that announcement.
Yay! We both have Flickr Pro accounts and since I wanted to give it to Dawg who keeps letting his lapse, I told Marty that I want Dawg to have it. I’m just so happy Flickr is now giving us a gorge of space now!
Thank you so much, Marty!!!!
You are most welcome.
Sorry to hear that Flickr kinda spoiled your giveaway. Glad to see you posting photos there again mind you.
Yeah, but it was a good spoil for all non-Pro users getting 1tb of space.
