Login to Flickr with Yahoo ID

In Internet, Widgets on 16 August 2005 with 1 comment

Update 8/21/05: You can unmerge your Flickr and Yahoo ID by just contacting the Flickr staff through their email form. They were quick about it, too.

I merged my Flickr account and Yahoo ID together, and now my Konfabulator Picture Frame widget can’t get my Flickr images. Wait before merging your account (if you haven’t already) so Arlo et al at Pixoria can make the changes in the widget.

Yahoo! acquires Konfabulator

In News, Widgets on 25 July 2005 with no comments

I tried Konfabulator last November and really liked it. Unfortunately, it wasn’t free - until now.

Yahoo! said the reason they purchased Konfabulator was that they wanted an easy way to open up its APIs to the developer community and allow them easy access to the information on the Yahoo! Web site. In doing this, Widgets could be built without having to scrape sites in order to get information.

I’m definitely going to start using it again, because I can afford free. Also, let’s look at this a bit deeper: Yahoo acquired Flickr, and that service has only gotten better. I believe they’ll do the same with Konfabulator. Well done, Yahoo…well done.
