Facebook vs Flickr
Facebook started first, in 2004, the same year as Flickr.
Why Facebook lasted
- The social graph of people over 30, plus Marketplace, Groups, and WhatsApp as the actual prize.
- It is still where local institutions go because that is where the locals are.
Why Flickr lasted
- Photographers who refuse Instagram still have originals there.
- SmugMug bought it to keep the archive from rotting. That is love as life support.
