So Scoble posts that the HeyPix acquisition by CNET Networks’ Webshots is possibly a bigger photo deal than Flickr going to Yahoo. Later, Scoble points to a response from a member of Flickr’s board of directors, Frank Boosman. Only time will tell what all this means and who’s “right.” My one quibble with Boosman’s response is the misleading interpretation of the second graph, showing Alexa traffic rank for Webshots and Flickr. Check the Y-scale of the graph and then reevaluate for yourself what the growth means vis-a-vis the relative sizes of the two services. You can do the damndest things with numbers.
Remember, I’m both a Flickr and Webshots user, and I work at CNET Networks, just to get my biases out on the table.
