I think it's more of a final nail in the Flickr coffin. Pinterest is a completely different vertical (it's not even pictures necessarily, it's lots of random stuff on the web)


I really doubt a service that crops your images to squares at a low maximum resolution is going to compete with Flickr.


Maybe I'm just set in my ways, but I still love flickr. It's how I store my photos online. I certainly don't want to store my photos on Instagram. Though, flickr has missed an opportunity for the way people share spontaneous iPhone pics. A lot of people still use a real camera and upload their pics in batches.


Or it could be a wake up call for Flickr.


Flickr already had at least 10 wake up calls over the last 5 years. They're not answering.
