Yahoo! after the bell 06-14-06: is flickr for hackrs?

flickr is for hackersI was working from Portland, Ore.'s City Hall this morning, as I was representing my neighborhood on a right-of-way matter. I wanted to show my neighborhood buddy a photo of the landmark we were fighting for on flickr. But zoinks! I was stopped by the government's free wifi filters. Flickr, the firewall said, was a site for hackers. I tried to argue (there's a button to do so on the security company's site) and it turned out that they'd confirmed, yes, flickr is for hackers.

The only mention I could find of "hackers" and "flickr" together was the friendly and entirely non-dangerous "Flickr Hacks" group on flickr. It's a way for users to get together and share their flickr workarounds.

But being banned by government can't be good for flickr's parent, Yahoo!. Flickr lives and dies on its viral nature, and if government officials near and far can't take place in the market, well, that's got to be tough for the longterm strategy. Yahoo! was down three cents to $29.62 today on average volume.
