What Hacker News says
3 sourcesAgreed! I really like the open photo project. I started making my own photo backup site as well: https://github.com/aaronpk/Flickr-Archiver I suspect we'll see many more attempts at building a solid photo archiving site before Flickr completely disappears.
In Snapjoy (YC S11) unveils Flickraft, one-click migration for Flickr usersI've been worried about Flickr disappearing for a while, but I don't think it's anywhere close yet. Also I'm not really interested in yet another third-party service from someone even less trusted than Flickr.
I'm happy to see projects like parallel-flickr pop up. I even started my own version: https://github.com/aaronpk/Flickr-Archiver
There are few things I trust more than Flickr right now, but I want to be ready in case they sink in the near future.
