Microsoft wants to take over Flickr

You know, I heard lots of news about Microsoft wanting to buy Yahoo over the weekend.
And while I’m not a huge fan of Microsoft by any means I didn’t think too much of it at the time. After all “I don’t use Yahoo – I usually stick with Google.”
But a post by Lifehacker today made me rethink that.

I use Flickr religiously – a company now owned by Yahoo.
I use del.icio.us now religiously as well – another company now owned by Yahoo.
I also play fantasy football on Yahoo.

Wait a minute – I don’t want Microsoft having ANY say in my online pictures and bookmarks or fantasy football!
