And Flickr made a big booboo. According to a photo blog in Zurich, the site which is owned by Yahoo, accidentally deleted his paid account by mistake, removing his 4,000 photos. And now the site says they can get them back. Luckily he says the original files are saved, but all links pointing to Flickr blog are now dead. The company responded saying that they would restore his account, and add 4-year a free pro to make up for their error. I think Yahoo can probably do better than that.
