Flickr vs LinkedIn
LinkedIn started first, in 2003, 1 year before Flickr.
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.
Why LinkedIn lasted
- It is the resume that other people can see, and hiring still starts there.
- Microsoft bought it and plugged it into the Office graph. Jobs is a search problem Microsoft wanted.
